A raíz de un seminario organizado en 2014 por Casa Árabe y la Fundación Friedrich-Ebert que reunió a varios expertos sobre Iraq, se ha editado un volumen en inglés, "Iraq at a crossroads", en el que se analizan en nueve capítulos las dimensiones internas (suníes, chiíes y kurdos), regionales (Siria, Irán y Turquía) e internacionales (EEUU, UE y el drama humanitario) que han contribuido a agudizar la crisis iraquí.00 20,,, 15 2015 -
Sunni and Shia: Political Readings of a Religious Dichotomy
The present collection of articles is the result of Casa Árabe’s efforts to address the different problems affecting peace and stability in the Middle East, and particularly in the Mashriq. The seminar ‘Sunni and Shia: Political Readings of a Religious Dichotomy’ was held towards the end of 2013 at Casa Mudéjar (Casa Árabe’s headquarters, in Córdoba), with various experts coming together for the discussion.

From a geostrategic perspective, the authors concur that Saudi Arabia and Iran represent the main centres of of influence.00 24,,, 14 2014 -
