Now in its ninth year, the turmoil has forced European leaders to rethink their approaches to the region, based on the now-obvious reality that the brief hopes of early 2011 for the spread of democracy and economic progress will not be fulfilled anytime soon.\u003cbr\u003eIn this book, experts from Europe, the United States, and the Middle East discuss what has happened since the so-called \"Arab Spring\" emerged and how those often-bewildering events have affected both North Africa and the European states across the Mediterranean. The book is based on papers presented at a March 2018 conference sponsored by the South Mediterranean Regional Program of the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung. Chapters focus on events in Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, and Tunisia--and offer ideas for how the European Union can adopt fresh approaches to the region, moving beyond its frequently uncertain and shifting responses of recent years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adel Abdel Ghafar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0815736959\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815736950\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brookings Institution Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/23\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Adel Abdel Ghafar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48457730228479,"sku":"9780815736950","price":57.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cfc987f6-d0c6-4c9f-808f-9a7ffc0083dd.jpg?v=1777400695","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-european-union-and-north-adel-abdel-ghafar-9780815736950","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
