The "Arab Spring" uprisings of 2011 held out promise of change for the better in governments across the Middle East. Hopes were high for a new era of accountability and respect for human rights. Drawing on his work with some of those involved in recent constitutional change in Egypt and Jordan, Professor Laurence Claus will discuss whether real progress has been made, and what prospects for positive change remain.
For ages 55 and up.
