1. The series of uprisings across North Africa and the Middle East which began in January 2011 are a major international development. The region had been dominated by authoritarian (or worse, tyrannical) regimes and dictatorships for decades; popular opposition, too, had been muted since the end of the 1970s. The 'Arab Spring' reveals that profound social and political changes had been taking place 'beneath the surface'. Although, as of now, only one regime as such has definitely fallen (Libya), the huge protest movements have changed politics in the region forever.
