REVOLUTION IN THE 21st CENTURY IS A REALITY…
In less than two months, two dictators have been overthrown. In both revolutions, the entrance of the working class onto the stage of history proved decisive. The myths the Arab world is incapable of democracy and that regime change can be achieved only through foreign intervention lie in tatters.
In this seminar, Prof Gilbert Achcar and Dr Anne Alexander will discuss the processes th…at led to recent events in the Middle East, the prospects for the future, and the implications for capitalism, imperialism and socialism in the 21st century.
