NAU Speaker Series - The Future of Arab Spring: Continuity or Change? The Case of Egypt

 Northern Arizona University in partnership with La Posada, the Museum of Northern Arizona, and the Sedona International Film Festival are proud to present the 2013 NAU Summer Speaker Series.

Presenter: Mohamed M. Abdel Aziz Mohamed, Assistant Professor of Comparative Study of Religion, at the Comparative Cultural Studies Department

Topic: In this lecture, I will ground the 2011 Egyptian Revolution, not in liberal mobilization, but in a long history of state internal conflicts and the eruption of the Revolution as a result of an ultimate confrontation between two poles of power within the state. Explaining the current chaotic situation, I will draw scenarios of future change in state structures, the political sphere, the market and the Muslim Brotherhood Group.
