In an age defined by rapid technological advancements, interconnectivity, and geopolitical complexities, the world order is constantly being reshaped. Politically, socially, and economically, numerous developments and challenges have emerged, necessitating a comprehensive examination of their implications. The American University in Emirates is organizing the 1st “International Arabian Gulf-Security Conference” (IAGSC) that aims to facilitate this exploration, providing a forum for researchers to present their work and exchange ideas on these critical issues.
One of the key challenges accentuated by the phenomenon of rapid urbanization is the growing complexity of security. As urban centers expand and populations concentrate within them, traditional security frameworks are being tested and strained. The conference recognizes this pressing reality and seeks to shed light on the multifaceted dimensions of security in an urbanized world. By doing so, we aspire to foster a deeper understanding of the emerging threats and vulnerabilities that confront us, while also identifying strategies and solutions to address them effectively.
With great pleasure and honor, we extend our warmest welcome to each, and every one of you to attend the 1st (IAGSC) conference which serves as a crucial platform for researchers from around the globe to convene and engage in meaningful discussions regarding the ever-evolving landscape of global security.
Under the overarching theme of International Relations and International Law, the conference encourages participants to examine global affairs holistically, with a specific focus on the Arabian Gulf region. As a region of immense geopolitical significance and economic vitality, the Arabian Gulf presents a unique context for exploring the interplay between various actors, interests, and dynamics. It is within this context that we invite researchers to present their cutting-edge research, share their insights, and engage in rigorous debates that will contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing the region.
AUE is confident that this gathering of brilliant minds and diverse perspectives will foster an environment of intellectual stimulation, collaboration, and innovation. By harnessing our collective expertise and knowledge, we can strive towards a more secure and prosperous future for the Arabian Gulf and beyond.
