Professor Yasir Suleiman CBE FRSE, His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said Professor of Modern Arabic Studies and ‎Director of Alwaleed Centre of Islamic Studies at the University of Cambridge.

How did the official media in Egypt, Libya and Syria discuss the Arab Spring? What tropes of national ‎identity did these media use to describe and explain the popular uprisings in these countries? What ‎do these descriptions and tropes tell us about the structure of the Arab political scene? Will Islamist ‎movements gain political ascendency in the post-revolutionary Arab order? What lessons can be ‎learnt from the Arab Spring in the way we discuss and debate the Middle East? This lecture dealt ‎with these issues by examining ways of media representation, inter-Arab political rivalries and the ‎Islamist phobia regionally and in Western circles.
