DESCRIPTION:While colonial powers and post-colonial superpowers have long played 
 outsized roles in shaping the Middle East, it is the regional powers -- 
 Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt -- that are increasingly shaping 
 conflicts into triangular and multi-lateral contestations for power and 
 dominance. Religion too plays an outsized role under conditions of 
 sustained authoritarianism and repression. A second Arab Spring has risen 
 like a phoenix from the ashes of the first Arab Spring. Sharat G. Lin 
 examines the social forces at work in the diverse countries of the 
 region.​\n​\nDr. Lin is a research fellow at the San Jose Peace and 
 Justice Center, and a former president of the Center. He is also on the 
 Board of Advisors of the Initiative for Equality. He writes on global 
 political economy, the Middle East, South Asia, labor migration, and public 
 health. He has spent many years living in the Middle East witnessing many 
 social upheavals including the Lebanese Civil War and the Arab 
 Spring.\n\nOpen to the public\n\nSponsored by the Arab American Cultural 
 Center of Silicon Valley\n
