Recent upheavals in the Middle East have already achieved significant changes in the "status quo." Changes in the political leadership in Tunisia and Egypt were followed by the ongoing Libyan conflict and unrest in Bahrain, Yemen, and now Syria. In the context of the newly emerging security architecture in the Middle East, how will the power relations between regional actors look like? What would be the implications of the Arab Spring for the Arab-Israeli peace and the US policy in the region? This event will analyze the prospects for a new Middle East from different country perspectives in the wake of the Arab Spring.
