The Arab Spring and the geopolitics of the Middle East : emerging security threats and revolutionary change / Amr Yossef, Independent Scholar, and Joseph Cerami, Senior Lecturer, Bush School of Government, Texas, USA.

Includes index.

"This study explores the Arab Spring revolutions in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Syria, and the resultant security implications for the wider region. The Arab Spring affected security in the Mediterranean, Middle East and North Africa regions that led to outside military interventions, either directly (NATO and European intervention in Libya and Mali) or indirectly (in Syria). Yossef and Cerami analyze how these threats materialized, their current status, and how best to tackle them."-- Provided by publisher.
