A panel discussion/book launch with Gilbert Achcar, Nadje al-Ali, Adam Hanieh, and Salwa Ismail to mark the publication of Gilbert Achcar's The People Want: A Radical Exploration of the Arab Uprising (Saqi Books, 2013). Chair: Hassan Hakimian

The euphoria that welcomed the Arab uprising in its initial stage tended to turn into gloom in recent months. Away from impressionistic reactions, the panellists will assess and discuss the latest developments in the Arab-speaking region on the occasion of the publication of Gilbert Achcar's recent book.
