SUMMARY:Mikhail Lecture - “Power Without Order: Gaza\, Iran\, and the Rema
 king of the Middle East”
LOCATION:Law School - McQuade Auditorium
DESCRIPTION:The UToledo Judith Herb College of Arts\, Social Sciences and 
 Education welcomes Yale law professor\, Asli Ü. Bâli\, as the guest speak
 er for the 2026 Maryse and Ramzy Mikhail Memorial Lecture.\n\nTOPIC\n“Pow
 er Without Order: Gaza\, Iran\, and the Remaking of the Middle East”\n\n(
 Description provided by Dr. Asli Ü. Bâli)\n“The Middle East is undergoing
  a profound reordering. The United States remains the region’s most power
 ful external actor\, and Israel possesses overwhelming military superiori
 ty\, yet neither power has been able to translate coercive capacity into 
 a stable regional settlement. Instead\, the wars in Gaza and Iran have ex
 posed the limits of a security architecture increasingly dependent on mil
 itary force and economic pressure while offering fewer mechanisms for dur
 able political resolution.\n\nUsing the Iran war as a prism through which
  to understand these broader changes\, this lecture examines the emergenc
 e of a more fragmented regional order. New security relationships are dev
 eloping alongside older American guarantees\; economic interdependence ha
 s itself become a source of strategic leverage\; and the boundaries betwe
 en war and peace\, military and economic coercion\, and alliance and auto
 nomy are becoming increasingly blurred. The lecture asks what the transfo
 rmations underway in the region mean for Palestinian self-determination\,
  regional security\, and nuclear proliferation in a Middle East whose old
  organizing assumptions are rapidly coming apart.”\n\nAbout the Speaker\n
