"Arab Spring/Winter: Implications for America's Middle East Policy"

The recent transformation sweeping the Arab world carries major consequences for America's security, economic and political interests. What are they? How will the recent changes throughout the Arab world impact US ties with longstanding allies and adversaries, as well as the prospects for Arab-Israeli peacemaking?

The lecture will be followed by a book signing of The Much Too Promised Land: America's Elusive Search for Arab-Israeli Peace.
