Ahmad Shikara
Spring 2009
Ahmad Shikara is at present a member of the faculty and a researcher at the Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. During his stay at the university, he talked to sessions of the faculty seminar and the graduate seminar on “New Faces of International Security in the 21st Century” and other audiences at the university and in the larger Bloomington community. He focused primarily on the scarcity of vital resources: oil and the Persian Gulf, although he spoke about the United States and the Persian Gulf to some extent. Before joining the Emirates Center in 2000, he served on the faculty of the Political Science Department at UAE from 1980 to 1994, as honorary professor at the Institute of Developing Economies in Japan in 1994, and as research fellow in the Department of Political Studies at the University Auckland, New Zealand, from 1996 to 2000.
