La Maison de la Paix à Genève a récemment été le théâtre d'une discussion passionnante intitulée “Israel-Lebanon: Past, Present, Possible Trajectories?”, une réflexion sur l'évolution des relations entre Israël et le Liban. Animée par les professeurs Cyrus Schayegh et Christiana Parreira, cette conférence a permis de revenir sur des décennies de tensions et de conflits marqués par des événements historiques majeurs tels que la rupture de 1948, l'invasion israélienne de 1982 et les guerres récurrentes avec le Hezbollah. Les intervenants ont examiné les différentes trajectoires historiques qui ont façonné cette relation complexe, ainsi que leurs implications pour l'actualité et l'avenir des deux pays. Dans cet épisode, nous avons échangé par téléphone avec Cyrus Schayegh, professeur et chef du département d'histoire internationale et de politique à l'Institut des Hautes Études Internationales et du Développement (IHEID), pour mieux comprendre les conclusions de cet événement et les perspectives à venir dans les relations israélo-libanaises.
In this episode of What Matters Today, we dive into the escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. The Israeli army has intensified strikes on Hezbollah targets, leading to devastating civilian casualties. We explore the complex historical and geopolitical context behind this escalation and ask critical questions: Is Lebanon at risk of becoming the next Gaza? Could Israel face a prolonged conflict, and how might this impact Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's leadership both at home and abroad? We also discuss the potential short- and medium-term consequences for the Middle East and consider how the United States may position itself in this evolving conflict. Our guest is Cyrus Schayegh, Professor of International History and Politics, and Chair of the Department of International History and Politics at the Geneva Graduate Institute.

Episode 467 with Jasmin Daam, Esther Möller, Cyrus Schayegh, and Selim Deringil hosted by Andreas Guidi Modern Mediterranean history and Middle Eastern history rarely dialogue with each other. Whereas European ideas and practices of and in the Mediterranean have been studied thoroughly, only recently did researchers start to examine ideas and experiences through which actors on the Southern shore contributed to the making of the Mediterranean. In this episode, recorded in partnership with the Southeast Passage during a conference in Beirut, we discuss the relevance of the Mediterranean in Arab ideas, institutions and identity constructions in the late Ottoman and post-Ottoman period. We focus on topics such as tourism in the Mandates, spatial transformations in the former Western Arab provinces after the demise of the Ottoman Empire, emigration on sea from the coast of Lebanon, and humanitarianism in Egypt after WWII. Through such diverse perspectives, the episode asks what a focus on the Southern shore might add to our perception of the Mediterranean “liquid continent.”« Click for More »

The question of how to write the history of the modern Middle East is a much contested one. Do we write national histories, focused on modern-nation states? Do we treat the Middle East as an integrated unit? What even constitutes the Middle East? At that, how do we deal with the great changes that swept the region during the late 19th and early 20th centuries? Cyrus Schayegh in The Middle East and the Making of the Modern World (Harvard University Press, 2017) introduces the concept of transpatialization, which denotes simultaneous processes of globalization, urbanization and state formation, to present a vision of bilad al-sham, or the Levant transitioning from the rule of the Ottoman Empire to the mandatory system to independence.
