The West and The Middle East
Have the West's policies failed North Africa and the Middle East?
The recent revolts against autocratic governments in Libya, Tunisia, and Egypt, and protests against many governments across the region, make it clear that significant political change is underway.
With some regimes changed and others shaken, critical questions about the future of the region and the West鈥檚 policies there remain to be answered.
Has the West reacted too slowly and inappropriately to events? Have their past policies failed them, and the people of the region?
