Wars of Impunity?

The New Structures of Transformed Security Dynamics in the Middle East

Launch event of Special Issue of Middle East Critique: “The Impunity Politics of Contested Security in Iraq.”

Israel’s wars on neighbouring countries since 7 October 2023 have had devastating effects on populations and livelihoods, especially in the Occupied Territories, Lebanon and most recently in Iran. This seminar explores one overarching power structure that seems pertinent to understanding ongoing transformations across the region: impunity.

We will ask: How is impunity infused into the changing security dynamics in the region as a whole?
