Arab Voices on the Challenges of the Middle East
Tue, May 3rd, 2016
Beirut, Lebanon
The Carnegie Middle East Center was pleased to host a review of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace’s first Arab Experts Survey.
The results of the survey, which was conducted in English and Arabic, represent the views of more than 100 accomplished political thinkers from almost every Arab country. They answer broad questions around terrorism and extremism, civil war and foreign intervention, sectarianism, corruption, and governance. The survey is part of Carnegie’s Arab World Horizons project, an effort to examine the social, political, and economic forces shaping the Arab world.
Marwan Muasher, Jihad Azour and Walid Haddouk discussed the findings of the survey, and Maha Yahya moderated.
