This special issue came about as a result of a workshop on “The Levant; From Ancient Gateway to Modern Chaos – What Basis for a New Regional Order?”, which was co-organized by the International Relations Council of Turkey (IRCT) and the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) in Dead Sea, Jordan, on 27-28 April 2017. I am grateful to both institutions and Canan Atılgan, Director of KAS Regional ProgramSouth Mediterranean, as well as Veronika Ertl and Cihan Dizdaroğlu, who took care of the organizational aspects of the workshop. I would like to thank the authors who contributed to this special issue for their patience and diligence in going through various versions of their papers.
Hoping to contribute to the understanding of the Levant and its political intricacies, I wish an enjoyable experience to our readers in perusing this issue.
