Abstract

Peacebuild convened a day-long discussion on the tumultuous changes taking place in the Middle East and North Africa (2011). This report provides an analytical summary of the main points discussed, followed by a series of recommendations to the Government of Canada and to civil society organizations. The roundtable shared up-to-date information on current and longer-term political issues and dynamics assessing areas for possible support for democratic transitions in the region. It identified areas of relevant Canadian expertise, and aimed to generate a set of policy options and/or recommendations.
