Who’s Winning the Great Power Struggle in the Middle East and North Africa?
Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
The Global Think Tank.
The Middle East and North Africa region is witnessing a fierce competition among the world’s current “great powers”—the U.S., Russia, and China. In the past few decades, each power has carved out its sphere of influence in unique ways. How?
In much of the region, the U.S. has maintained its dominance in military and economic ties. China has surged ahead with expanding trade and investments, notably in North Africa—all while largely avoiding an expansion of military ties. Meanwhile, Russia remains a prominent force in the region, especially in Syria,?but has faced setbacks due to the ongoing war in Ukraine.
What will these shifting power dynamics mean for?the future of the Middle East and North Africa region? Amr Hamzawy and Yuchen (Rain) Ji explore this question and more in their new digital feature, “Navigating Influence: Great Powers in the Middle East and North Africa.”
