The Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research (ECSSR) Symposium (60), titled ‘President-Elect Joe Biden and the Future of US Foreign Policy towards the Middle East’, will take place on Monday, January 18, 2021.

The symposium will discuss Biden’s victory in the US presidential elections, anticipating the impact his administration will have on domestic politics and US foreign policy in the Middle East. Biden’s foreign policy in the region is expected to differ from his predecessor, Donald Trump, with potential implications for the political and economic stability of the region.

The symposium will consist of three main panels. The first will analyze the US election results, the second will discuss possible shifts in US foreign policy and the repercussions for the region, while the third will address regional threats and ways to counter them.
