SUMMARY:The Arab Spring: Pathways of Repression and Reform
DESCRIPTION:INDIANA\n\nPresented by Andrew Reynolds\n\nAssociate Professor\
 , Department of Political Science\, University of North Carolina\, Chapel 
 Hill\n\nChair\, Global Studies Curriculum\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n*Sponsored by Cent
 er for Constitutional Democracy\, IU Maurer School of Law\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nWh
 en: Thursday\, February 12 | 12:00 pm\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nWhere: Maurer School o
 f Law\, Room 124\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nWhat: Several years after the Arab Spring b
 egan\, democracy remains elusive in the Middle East. The Arab Spring that 
 resides in the popular imagination is one in which a wave of mass mobiliza
 tion swept the broader Middle East\, toppled dictators\, and cleared the w
 ay for democracy. The reality is that few Arab countries have experienced 
 anything of the sort. While Tunisia made progress towards constitutionally
  entrenched participatory rule\, the other countries that overthrew their 
 rulers—Egypt\, Yemen\, and Libya—remain mired in authoritarianism and 
 instability.\n\n\n\nElsewhere in the Arab world uprisings were suppressed\
 , subsided or never materialized. The Arab Spring’s modest harvest cries
  out for explanation. Why did regime change take place in only four Arab c
 ountries and why has democratic change proved so elusive in the countries 
 that made attempts? When rulers were ousted\, the balance of power at the 
 time of transition goes far in predicting the character of new constitutio
 nal provisions and the trajectory of democratization writ large.\n\n&nbsp\
