The Arab Spring - Paperback

by Margaret Haerens (Editor), Lynn M. Zott (Editor)

This essential volume offers insight on an often under-covered event; the Arab Spring. It was the revolutionary wave of demonstrations and protests occurring in the Arab world that began in late 2010. Essays collected here carefully debate several issues, organized across four chapters under four main themes. Readers will evaluate the causes, how the international community should respond, how the United States should respond, and the social and political impact of the Arab Spring. Essay sources include Barack Obama, Rami G. Khouri, Richard Javad Heydarian, Rebecca Winthrop, and The Economist.
