Old Rivalries, New Plays: Mideast Power Relations after the Arab Spring November 2, 2011

With the death of Libya’s Muammar el-Qaddafi, the collapse of multiple autocratic governments across North Africa and the Middle East continues. Yet questions remain about the transitional futures of these societies, the impact of these sweeping power successions on the region, and how the changing face of the region will create new challenges and opportunities for U.S. foreign policy.

The Center for International Studies and the International Studies Society will host Ambassador Chase Untermeyer for a lecture and discussion about the Arab Spring and its possible aftermaths at 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 2 at the University of St. Thomas in the Old Bookstore, Crooker Center, 3909 Graustark.

This event will include introductory remarks by Ambassador Untermeyer, interview and discussion conducted by the Center’s resident Middle East expert, Dr. Nivien Saleh, and audience questions. The event is free and open to the public.
