7-8 April

The CIDOB Foundation's Mediterranean Programme is organising the final seminar in the research project directed by Ferran Izquierdo, Lecturer in International Relations at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), on the subject of whether political transitions are currently taking place in the Arab world. The seminar will include a presentation of the theoretical-analytical framework on which the project was based, and there will be discussions of nine case studies (each one corresponding to a different country in the Arab world). The studies will analyse the structural factors of the power system and examine the role of the elites, the opposition movements, the system's response to these demands and prospects for future change. Each case study will be presented by the researchers responsible for the work, and an academic of international renown will discuss their findings.
