Al Sharq Strategic ResearchThe Arab Uprisings have proved to be one of the most transformative developments in the broader Middle East and North Africa (MENA) since the end of colonialism in the region. They have created new domestic political as well as geopolitical realities, yet their repercussions went beyond this region and gained a global character. The fate of these uprisings is intimately interlinked with the process of democratization worldwide. As the Arab uprisings are a process, rather than a single event, their formative impacts on the societies, states and regional system in the Middle East are ongoing and far-reaching.

Event Description
This public webinar aims to take stock of the Arab uprisings and set out to address the following questions: What are the features of the ‘new reality’ in the Middle East? How did these Uprisings expose the systematic and socio-political illnesses and malformations in the MENA region? And to what extent this experience informed the ongoing debate on democracy worldwide? What do these uprisings tell us about the nature of the state and regional system in the Middle East? What lessons should we draw from these processes?
