Especially in terms of this conflict and war, The Middle East is one of the tensest places in the world, and all conflicts in this region have various internal and external causes. However, many of them start with a religious and ethnic motif or a small spark (a political statement, any action on the street, etc.). Today, ethnic and religious conflicts are of great concern and challenge for decision-makers and academics, and this difficulty contains an important breaking point in political debates. In fact, carrying a different meaning to the world with violence and ethnic and religious conflicts in more than a quarter of the Middle East, it aims to make the center of regional politics visible in identity conflicts and thus to open identity and ethnic space through conflict, thus opening the door to conflict politics. © 2023, IGI Global.
