The Arab region is witnessing major strategic shifts on various political, military, economic and social levels. It has been subject to a state of instability for years, resulting in a great chaos and negative consequences on the situation in general and the state of security and stability in particular. Thus, the region has become under a threat of different projects with each aiming at consolidating its influence and achieving its ambitions. Therefore, the Middle East Studies Centre, in cooperation with the Kuwaiti Mujtama' magazine, organised a conference entitled by "The Projects of Change in the Arab Region and Their Future" in Amman, Jordan. The conference aimed at the following: coming up with a unified strategic Arab vision towards the shifts of the undergoing internal and external projects of change until 2015; building a joint plan for an Arab- Islamic project of renaissance; and suggesting scholarly views of possible scenarios of the nature of conflict or agreement between such projects in the Arab region until 2015. During the conference, 5 projects were considered major and of direct influence, namely: the American, Israeli, Iranian, pan- Arab and Islamic projects. Other projects were considered minor and of little influence, namely: the European, Turkish, Indian and Chinese projects.
