- **Event Name**: Guest lecture ft. Anders Persson: "The Abraham Accords: Peace in our time in the Middle East?"
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 26 Feb, 2026 at 06:30 pm
- **Event Description**: The Association for Peace and Conflict Studies (FFK) is very pleased to welcome Anders Persson as a guest lecturer.

Persson is one of Sweden’s most prominent scholars and commentators on Middle East politics. He holds a PhD in Political Science from Lund University and is currently an Associate Professor, with a primary research focus on the European Union’s role in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. He has long contributed to advancing understanding of the political, diplomatic, and institutional dynamics shaping the conflict, both within academia and public debate.

He is currently based at Linnaeus University and has previously been affiliated with peace and conflict studies at Lund University. Persson has published extensively in academic journals and is the author of four widely recognised books examining the role of EU diplomacy on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, and the conditions for a just and sustainable peace. 

Alongside his academic career, Persson is a frequently invited expert commentator in Swedish media, with regular appearances on SVT, TV4, and SR. He also writes for international outlets such as Haaretz, Al Jazeera English, Politico EU, and EU Observer. Since 2023, he has been a member of the European Association of Israel Studies, reflecting his active engagement in international scholarship on Israel and the Middle East.

Persson is currently working on a new book about the Abraham Accords, the normalisation agreements signed between Israel and several Arab states during Donald Trump’s first presidential term. His lecture for FFK will give a glimpse into this ongoing research, engaging with key questions such as: What are the results of the accords six years on? What are their implications for peace and conflict in the Middle East? And what are the prospects for more countries joining?

The evening offers a valuable opportunity to engage with one of the most debated diplomatic initiatives in modern Middle East politics, an evening of sharp analysis, contemporary perspectives, and engaging discussion.
