Three years after the Arab Spring, the peoples of the Middle East and North Africa still grapple with many questions about who will rule, and how. The civil war in Syria drags on, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict endures without resolution, and governments in many countries and regions face popular challenges to their authority. This symposium engages the University of Oregon and Eugene communities in a vibrant discussion of these and other critical issues in the Middle East, North Africa, and beyond.
