MERI Forum 2024
Towards Good Governance & Prosperity
29 – 30 October, 2024
MERI Forum is the institute’s flagship annual event which brings together local, national and international policy-makers, academics, opinion leaders, civil society activists, journalists and diplomats to debate the high priority issues that are affecting our region and offer solutions to decision-makers. The ultimate objective of the Forum is to promote peace, stability and prosperity in Iraq and the wider Middle East through engagement, dialogue and collective investment.
As such, MERI Forum 2024 will revolve heavily around Iraq’s immediate policy priorities, the ever-changing regional dynamics and the opportunities available for international engagement and collaboration. A range of topical themes have been selected for policy debates and in-depth analysis, including: the evolving global and regional power dynamics, US policies in the Middle East, peace in the Levant, Iraq’s role in the neighbourhood, tackling Iraq’s fragility and learning from other international experiences, Iraq political economy and reforming its financial system, institutionalisation of centre-periphery relations, ethno-religious coexistence, and more.
