SUMMARY:Conference: Service Provision in a Changing Arab World
DESCRIPTION:CONNECTICUT\nService Provision in a Changing Arab World\n2nd A
 nnual Conference for the Yale Program on Governance and Local Development
 \nApril 9 &amp\; 10\, 2015\n\n\nIn the past four years\, Arab states have 
 experienced a myriad of changes. From revolutions to civil conflicts\, the
  region has been in a state of significant transition and transformation. 
 The dominant narrative in both media and scholarship has focused on nation
 al-level changes and policies\, largely overlooking changes taking place o
 n the local level. As a result\, movement on the ground regarding the orga
 nization of politics and policies has been predominantly relegated to a pl
 ace of insignificance\, garnering little attention or merit.\n\nThis confe
 rence focuses on governance and service provision\, emphasizing factors th
 at explain variability at the local level. Bringing together a multidiscip
 linary group of scholars and practitioners\, the conference will focus on 
 themes dealing with obstacles and opportunities to providing public servic
 es in the face of instability across the region. It comprises four panels:
  Challenges for Service Provision\, Service Provision in Conflict Zones\, 
 Refugee Populations and Local Service Delivery\, Service Delivery in Trans
 ition States\, and a final roundtable. The conference aims to advance theo
 retically based\, policy relevant research and discussion that can advance
  instruments for assessing and advancing governance and service delivery a
 t the local level.\n\n\n\n\n&nbsp\;
