Al Majalla launches a special series of articles and conversations reflecting on the events of 2025 and the broader legacy of the past 25 years in the Arab world and across the globe. We present sharp analyses of the sweeping transformations that have reshaped the Arab region and the wider world in this period.
The year 2025 witnessed the machinations of a changing global order and the restructuring of regional dynamics—not least in the Middle East. Al Majalla unpacks these shifts while also opining on possible future trajectories, commissioning leading thinkers and researchers to share their perspectives beyond the headlines.
