The Central Region, spanning the Middle East, the Horn of Africa, Central Asia, and South Asia, has long faced numerous challenges in its quest for stability and prosperity. Prior to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the region was grappling with economic and political uncertainty amidst significant shifts in the global power dynamics. However, the pandemic has further exacerbated the volatility in this already fragile region, necessitating a re-examination of U.S. strategic objectives. A complex tapestry of factors, including the weakening of established governance systems, the empowerment of extremist individuals and groups through advancements in digital technology, the humanitarian crises in Afghanistan and Syria, and the intensification of the great power competition with China and Russia, is fostering a conducive environment for the growth of violent extremist organizations (VEOs). These organizations exploit vulnerable, aggrieved, and traumatized populations to fuel radicalization, recruitment, and unrest, further undermining stability and the prospects for peace and prosperity. While it is still premature to ascertain the full impact of the ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic on U.S. policy, this book offers a timely analysis of relevant dynamics such as popular radicalization, digital information ecosystems, networks of influence, and new capabilities to recognize and prepare for other unforeseen black swan events in the region.
