What Is Left of the Arab Spring?

Seven years after the Arab Spring, this conference will try to assess the situation in the region. Following a moment of regional upheaval in 2011, did we enter in a phase of regional counterrevolution or is each country following its own singular path? What are the major changes that the Arab Spring brought to the balance of power in the region and the respective influence of Arab and non-Arab states, such as Iran, Israel, or Turkey? Finally, after years of turbulence, how do the people of the region understand the Arab Spring and the idea of democracy?

Join historian and Arabist Jean-Pierre Filiu, Deputy Editor of the Financial Times Roula Khalaf, Columbia University Executive Vice President for Global Centers and Global Development Safwan M. Masri, as they debate on these issues. This panel conversation will be moderated by Cultural Counselor of The French Embassy in the United States Bénédicte de Montlaur.

In English. Free and open to the public. No RSVP necessary.
