My book, West Asia, reflects the new realities facing Europe after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. I argue that the Russia-Europe integration project is over and that the dream of connecting Russia's Far East to Lisbon is gone for a generation. West Asia is now Europe's geostrategic space and its connective tissue to Asia's industrial powers.

How can cooperation with West Asia help Europe in the aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine? Read @ThisIsSoliman's West Asia to find out: amazon.com/West-Asia-Amer…

The Global Conversation talks West Asia, geopolitics and technology with @MiddleEastInst's @ThisIsSoliman. From Mexico City to Tokyo and of course everywhere in between.

The Hormuz crisis is as good an illustrator of geography's revenge as we'll ever get. But are we thinking about Iran, the Persian Gulf, and the wider region properly? In a new book published with uncanny timing, @ThisIsSoliman argues we should jettison the notion of the Middle East in favor of what he calls West Asia. I review his case and make my own @TheNatlInterest. 1/

The Middle East is part of an overarching Asian order; the impact of the Iran war on Japan as Tokyo enters a new era of rearmament; and why a book on West Asia centers on the vision of the late PM Shinzo Abe. x.com/ThisIsSoliman/…
