*Arab Revolutions and Counter Revolutions: A Testimony from There*

Two years after the Arab Revolutions began, one can see tensions in Egypt
and Tunisia with no radical change in either country’s foreign policy and
strategic alliances, a transfer of power from a president to his vice
president in Yemen, civil unrest in Libya, all out civil war in Syria and
no change at all in Bahrain. Has the movement failed? has it been
contained? Or is there more change taking place in the Arab World than
meets the eye? This lecture shall discuss the extent of change in political
organization, in political culture and, subsequently, in the balance of
power in the Arab Word. It shall discuss the prospects of independence,
democracy, the Arab Israeli conflict and American influence in the region
from behind the tear gas clouds in the streets of Cairo, the walls and
checkpoints of the West Bank and rubble of Syrian villages.

Tamim Al-Barghouti is a political scientist. He is currently the Core Team
leader of The United Nations Economic and Social Committee for West Asia's
futuristic project: The Arab World 2025.
