| Kepel: “If there is no post-oil vision, the whole area is going to sink” |

Oil alone is “unable to deal with the challenges of a region that has gone through demographic expansion,” says renowned scholar and author Gilles Kepel in a new podcast interview with Al-Monitor.
“If there is no post-oil vision, the whole area is going to sink,” adds Kepel, “and that is the challenge that is being taken up” by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and others.
“This is a watershed period for the Middle East. Its place in the world system will not be as it was, and it is now facing its destiny,” Kepel says.
Kepel, an author whose most recent published work is “Away from Chaos: The Middle East and the Challenge to the West,” discussed the trends and fault lines shaping the region, including the impact of COVID-19, falling oil prices, political Islam, and the fallout of what was called the Arab Spring in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Syria, Saudi Arabia and the region. | | | |
