A singular protest by a Tunisian street vendor ignited rebellion, resistance and regime change that spurred a tumultuous year across the Arab world. Now, armed with new media, fresh and vibrant voices are emerging all across the region to challenge old political control and some cultural traditions. What is often called the “cradle of civilization” is in a state of change.
Is this truly an Arab Spring? Revolutions can be hijacked, crushed or abandoned. Where are the uprisings today and where will they go from here? Who are the new powerbrokers? What is the role of the Islamists, women and social media? Are the nations in transition any closer to stability, democracy and freedom?
From the frontlines of the Arab uprisings, activists, scholars and diplomats will come together to explore these pressing issues in this historic time.
