In 'The New Eastern Question,' renowned author Georges Corm presents a critical analysis of the contemporary Middle East's geopolitical landscape. He challenges the traditional, often Orientalist, frameworks used to understand the region. Corm delves into the complex interplay of internal dynamics and external interventions, particularly after the Cold War, arguing that a new set of problems has replaced the historical 'Eastern Question.' He examines the roots of political instability, the failure of development models, and the impact of Western policies, advocating for a renewed, sovereign Arab intellectual and political project to address these modern challenges.
