A Tale of Four Worlds: The Arab Region After the Uprisings
Authors Marina and David Ottaway have brought new understanding of the Middle East in their book that summarizes and analyzes the last 100 years of political change and instability in the Arab world. First came the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire following World War I; then, in the 1950s and '60s, the Nasser-inspired wave of Arab nationalism and socialism. The Arab world's third great political cataclysm of the past 100 years has also brought permanent changes, but not as its activists had hoped: the 2011 uprisings. Their consequences have differed greatly from area to area, splintering the Arab region into four different worlds. Join Marina and David Ottaway as they discuss the profound upheavals that have shaken - and continue to transform - Arab and global politics.
