The challenges that come after regime change, building new, more open political systems and responding to popular expectations of improved living conditions, have come to the fore. Political and social upheavals have been on full display as politicians, activists, and publics at large have struggled to define new rules for wielding government power and new relationships between states and societies. Against this backdrop, the RAND Corporation and the Ankara-based International Strategic Research Organization jointly convened a workshop in Istanbul, Turkey, on April 24, 2013, to provide a private setting in which policymakers, opinion leaders, and experts from Arab countries could reflect collaboratively on how to overcome obstacles to democratization. Participants came from Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Yemen, Syria, and Jordan, and included political party leaders, former ministers, current officials and senior political advisers, heads of research institutions, academics, and columnists. Participants' political affiliations varied considerably on the ideological spectrum, though the nature of the discussions was notably pragmatic rather than ideological. 650 0 $a Democratization $z Arab countries $v Congresses. 651 0 $a Arab countries $x Politics and government $y 21st century $v Congresses. 700 1 $a Martini, Jeffrey. 710 2 $a Rand Corporation. 830 0 $a Conference proceedings (Rand Corporation) ; $v CF312. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180111015426.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9CE59490152711E3AA706A77DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
