How Europe can hit the reset button after years of failed responses to North African turmoil
The ongoing upheaval in North Africa has presented many challenges to Europe, which previously had been comfortable with the status quo of authoritarian leadership in much of the region. Now in its ninth year, the turmoil has forced European leaders to rethink their approaches to the region, based on the now-obvious reality that the brief hopes of early 2011 for the spread of democracy and economic progress will not be fulfilled anytime soon.
In this book, experts from Europe, the United States, and the Middle East discuss what has happened since the so-called Arab Spring emerged and how those often-bewildering events have affected both North Africa and the European states across the Mediterranean. The book is based on papers presented at a March 2018 conference sponsored by the South Mediterranean Regional Program of the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung. Chapters focus on events in Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, and Tunisiaand offer ideas for how the European Union can adopt fresh approaches to the region, moving beyond its frequently uncertain and shifting responses of recent years.

How Europe can hit the reset button after years of failed responses to North African turmoil
The ongoing upheaval in North Africa continues to present significant challenges to Europe, which had been comfortable with the status quo of authoritarian leadership in much of the region before the advent of the Arab Spring. Now in its ninth year, the unrest in North Africa has forced European leaders to rethink their approaches to the region, based on the reality that the brief hopes of early 2011 for the spread of democracy and economic progress will not be fulfilled anytime soon.
In this book, experts from Europe and the Middle East discuss what has happened since the Arab Spring erupted in 2010 and how these historic events have affected both the countries of North Africa and the European states across the Mediterranean. Chapters focus on events in Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, and Tunisia, and offer ideas on how the European Union can adopt fresh approaches to the region, moving beyond its frequently uncertain and shifting responses of recent years.
