The suggestion that NZIIA host a conference on the Middle East arose soon after the first dramatic events in Egypt and Tunisia in late 2010 and early 2011. Those uprisings had toppled two seemingly entrenched Arab leaders, if not the regimes themselves. Other regimes nearby appeared threatened by the same waves of popular protest. Countries at opposite ends of the Arab world, from Morocco and Libya to Bahrain, Jordan, Syria and Yemen were caught in the tide of unrest.
This book is a record of proceedings from the Conference held in Wellington on 2 August 2011.
