DESCRIPTION:State, Class, Alienation, and \nGeopolitics in the Arab Spring\n\nThe Arab 
 Spring was rooted in more than just popular aspirations for democracy, 
 prosperity, and respect.  It was also driven by cleavages in class and 
 state, and, in particular, divisions within the bourgeoisie, differential 
 social alienation, and the rise of identity politics.  As more regimes feel 
 threatened by instability around them, covert cross-border interventions 
 have played an increasing role.  Geopolitical maneouvres reveal not merely 
 perceived interests, but the tactical projection of those interests across 
 borders and through arrays of surrogates, and real interests.\nDr. Sharat 
 G. Lin writes on global political economy, the Middle East, South Asia, 
 labor migration, and public health.  He is a contributing author to the 
 book Studies in Inequality and Social Justice.   He spent two months in 
 Tahrir Square during 2009-2012, including during the initial uprising that 
 overthrew President Mubarak.   He is a research fellow at the San José 
 Peace and Justice Center. \n\nSunday, December 15, 2013\n10:30 am to 12:30
