The old Arab order has collapsed. Can a new order be created? Arab Horizons: Pitfalls and Pathways to Renewal, a new Carnegie report, attempts to chart a new path toward a more stable and prosperous Middle East. With contributions by the Carnegie Middle East Program and dozens of experts from the region, Arab Horizons addresses five critical areas: political economy, governance, education, refugees, and conflict mediation.
