The 3rd Annual International Interdisciplinary Conference
The Gulf region witnessed an extraordinary rift when, on June 5, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Bahrain cut all diplomatic ties and imposed a siege on the State of Qatar following the hacking of Qatar News Agency website. With the pressing role of media in general and social media in particular, new political realities have been created in the region.
This annual international conference on the Gulf Crisis will bring together scholars, policy makers and students from a wide-range of disciplines to engage in a nuance debate on the role of the cyber and information security on the politics as well as the shift of alliances in the region. This conference will also explore the long-term economic implications of the blockade and will identify how the economy of Qatar is adjusting to the impact of the siege. The conference in addition, will discuss the role of Media and Information Technology in creating political cultures as well as conflicts.
