Fawaz A. Gerges (Lebanese pronunciation: [fawˈwaːzˈʒeɾʒes]) is a Lebanese-American academic and author with expertise on the Middle East, U.S. foreign policy, international relations, social movements, and relations between the Islamic and Western worlds.
Gerges is currently a professor of Middle East Politics and International Relations at the London School of Economics and Political Science.[1] He holds the Emirates Chair of the Contemporary Middle East at the LSE, and he was the inaugural Director of the LSE's Middle East Centre from 2010 to 2013.[2]
Gerges's forthcoming book, What Really Went Wrong: The West and the Failure of Democracy in the Middle East, is scheduled to be published by Yale University Press in May 2024.[3] The book considers how Middle Eastern history might have been different if American leaders after the end of the Second World War had encouraged independent Middle Eastern leaders and peoples instead of supporting potentates, autocrats, and strongmen.[4]
