A Presentation of the Findings of Freedom in the World 2012
The political uprisings that swept across the Arab world over the past year represent the most significant challenge to autocracy and dictatorship since the collapse of Communism two decades ago. How have these uprisings affected the state of political rights and civil liberties in the countries of the Middle East and North Africa region? And what impact have they had on the state of freedom throughout the world? Freedom House will host an event to present the findings of Freedom in the World 2012, followed by a panel discussion on global trends and key challenges for human rights and democracy.
Featured Speakers Include:
Arch Puddington, Vice President for Research, Freedom House
Robert Kagan, Senior Fellow, Brookings Institution
Suzanne Nossel, Executive Director, Amnesty International USA
Daniel Brumberg, Professor of Government, Georgetown University and Senior Advisor, U.S. Institute of Peace
Moderated by: Susan Glasser, Editor-in-Chief, Foreign Policy
