Pete W. Moore, Ph.D. – Associate Professor of Political Science at Case Western Reserve University<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Dear Colleagues:<\/p>\n The \u201cArab Spring\u201d of uprisings and government collapses that began in Tunisia and Egypt is much more than a season of discontent.<\/strong>\u00a0The issues range far beyond the outcomes in the countries where regimes still face-off with protesters like Syria, or stage last-ditch resistance as in Libya. They include how the movement will play out in countries where protest has so far been limited such as Saudi Arabia, and what will happen in the countries where the old dictators are gone but the new system is not exactly formed. The situation in Egypt is especially complex, as the Army seeks to maintain control while social protest ranges from a burgeoning labor movement with the first teachers\u2019 strike since 1951, to the attack on the Israeli Embassy.\u00a0Professor Moore will suggest key themes for understanding what has happened so far and what might happen next.<\/strong><\/p>\n Very best regards, About Our Guest…<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Pete W. Moore’s research focuses on economic development and state-society relations in the Middle East and Africa; specifically, Gulf Arab States and Levant; business-state relations, privatization, and decentralization; sub-state conflict and regional security.<\/span><\/p>\n Where We Meet<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n This year the Friday Public Affairs Lunch will convene each Friday when classes are in session in the Dampeer Room of Kelvin Smith Library from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm. The Dampeer Room is on the second floor of the library. If you get off the elevators, turn right, pass the first bank of tables, and turn right again.<\/span><\/p>\n Parking Possibilities<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The most convenient parking is the lot underneath Severance Hall. We regret that it is not free. From that lot there is an elevator up to street level (labeled as for the Thwing Center); it is less than 50 yards from that exit to the library entrance. There is also on-street parking on both East Drive and Bellflower. Both are fairly short walks from the library.<\/span><\/p>\n Friday Lunch Upcoming Topics and Speakers:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n October 7: Doomed in Durban? 20 years of climate change policy<\/strong>.
