Nearly two years since it first erupted in Tunisia, the popular
uprisings of the "Arab Spring" continue to shake the foundations of
decades of authoritarian rule across the Middle East and North
Africa. While their precise nature or the political, economic, and
strategic implications for the region and the rest of the world
have yet to be assessed, there is no doubt that they will be
profound. With deep economic ties to the Middle East, Korea feels
the impact of the political changes currently taking place in the
region acutely, and the two regions' futures remain deeply
intertwined. This timely project on the Arab Spring was initiated
to provide The Asan Institute's own assessment of the changes
currently taking place in the region and their significant
implications for South Korea. The Asan Institute for Policy Studies
is an independent think tank located in Seoul, South Korea, that
provides innovative policy solutions and spearheads public
discourse on many of the core issues that Korea, East Asia, and the
global community face. The goal of the institute is not only to
offer policy solutions but also to train experts in public
diplomacy and related fields in order to strengthen Korea's
capacity to better tackle some of the most pressing problems
affecting the country, the region and the world today.
