2011 has witnessed an amazing series of events in the Middle East which will have widespread, global repercussions for decades to come.
Authoritarian regimes have been overthrown in some countries, violent repression has increased in others, and the international community has invoked both the International Criminal Court and the evolving responsibility to protect norm and militarily intervened in Libya. These ongoing situations do not have clear outcomes but will, nonetheless, have a significant impact on regional and global dynamics. The scholars on this panel will draw on their expertise to help us understand what has happened in this volatile part of the world and what the possible implications might be.
All are welcome – event is free of charge
