While armed conflict has continued to diminish across most of the globe since the end of the
Cold War and the resulting "peace dividend" has contributed to measurable progress in reducing
state fragility, the Middle East and Sahel regions have diverged from the global trends since
2001 and teeter on the brink of unprecedented humanitarian disaster. Dr.
Marshall will discuss the regional dynamics within the framework of Societal-System
Dynamics which stresses the importance of Emotive Content and System Dynamics in
understanding the problem of collective violence in the Era of Globalization.
