USC Middle East Studies Program faculty assess where things stand and predict the directions the Arab uprisings may take in the coming year.
The last year has witnessed unprecedented revolutions and political transformations in many Arab countries.
As Tunisians and Egyptians mark the first anniversary of their revolutions, the Arab world enters the second year of what has been a dramatic period of uprisings and demonstrations against authoritarian regimes that have been in place for decades.
While Libya’s Gadhafi is gone, external military involvement was necessary to uproot his regime, and it’s unclear what type of government the future holds.
In Syria, the revolt is becoming increasingly militarized, as a brutal regime daily kills scores of its own people, and some inside Syria are calling for foreign intervention.
Yemen and Bahrain are still witnessing unrest, and it remains unclear whether the minor steps toward reform taken in Jordan and Morocco will end calls for further changes.
All of these developments have implications for other actors in the region, as well as for U.S. and European policy.
