If the West continues to ignore the real problems of the Middle East region or try to solve them militarily, instead of using diplomacy and financial resources, the instability in the region could further deepen, Noriel Roubini, a professor at NYU’s Stern School of Business, wrote in his article for Project Syndicate.

According to the author, among actual geopolitical risks, the greatest is the long arc of instability stretching from the Maghreb to the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.

Currently, the instability along this arc is growing, the author pointed out. Libya has become a failed state, Egypt has returned to authoritarian rule, and Tunisia is destabilized by terrorist attacks. The violence now is spreading into Sub-Saharan Africa.

According to Roubini, the US and its allies in their pursuit of regime change in Iraq, Libya, Syria and Egypt helped to fuel the turmoil in the region. And now the turmoil is also undermining previously secure states, like Jordan, Lebanon and even Turkey.
