Nonviolent Revolution in Tunisia and Egypt with Dr. Stephen Zunes
The successful unarmed resistance in Tunisia and the ongoing struggle
in Egypt has not only once again demonstrated the power of strategic
nonviolent action, but is bringing long-overdue democratic change to
the Arab world. These popular uprisings have enormous ramifications
for US-backed dictatorships and other autocratic regimes, US policy in
the Middle East, and the future of the entire region. Stephen Zunes,
politics professor and of Middle Eastern Studies at the University of
San Francisco and a leading authority on Middle Eastern and North
African politics, nonviolent action, and U.S. foreign policy, will
share his thoughts on these dramatic developments and lead the
discussion. For more information, www.rcnv.org or 831-423-1626.
