Starting with the Jasmine Revolution in Tunisia, the democratic movement has spread widely to Egypt, Libya, and Syria in the past few months. Yet the situation each country faces is different due to the social systems, ruling clans, religions and the divides in resource ownership. We will invite Prof. Yamauchi Masayuki, a seasoned researcher of Islam and the Middle East, to talk about the current situation and future prospects of the Middle East.
