An EconoTimes perspective

Mahad Darar

Ph.D. Student of Political Science, Colorado State University

As a researcher in International Relations and Conflict Resolution, my work is centered on unraveling the complex geopolitical dynamics of the Middle East and East Africa. My articles, published in esteemed outlets like The National Interest and other IR publications, provide in-depth analysis of critical issues in countries such as Yemen and Ethiopia. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Political Science at Colorado State University, with a specialized focus on US-Chinese strategic engagement across the East African and Middle Eastern regions. My research endeavors to uncover the interplay between political and military power, economic interests, and environmental factors, shedding light on the multifaceted geopolitical landscape of these areas. By placing particular emphasis on geopolitical dynamics, I aim to expand my understanding of regional power relations and strategic alliances. Ultimately, my goal is to identify sustainable solutions and promote informed decision-making in addressing the challenges these regions face in an increasingly interconnected world.
