On 13 March 2017, NSA will host Dr. Marc Lynch from George Washington University for the Global Connections Speaker Series. Dr. Lynch will give a talk titled after his book by the same name, The New Arab Wars: Anarchy and Uprising in the Middle East. In his talk, Lynch will discuss the hopes raised by the Arab uprisings six years ago, which have collapsed into resurgent authoritarianism, failed states, extremism and civil wars. The author will also explore the causes for the failures of the Arab uprisings and the proxy wars, which have profoundly reshaped the regions politics.
