Public forum on the Middle East with guest speaker: Dr Adam Tarock
The UNAA Victoria invites you to an evening with Dr Adam Tarock is a research fellow at the University of Melbourne. He has lectured on the Middle East at both Deakin and Melbourne Universities and has published extensively on the Middle East and Central Asia in academic journals in Australia and overseas.
‘The Middle East: the end of the world as we know it?’
‘Who would have thought it? The answer is nobody. If anyone had said at the beginning of the year that, by March, the Arab world would not only be in uproar but would have peaceably got rid of two of its longest serving autocrats, that the UN would have sanctioned a US-led military intervention... they would have been dismissed as a sad delusionist seeking what they might dream of, but not what they could reasonably predict. The people of the Arab world have risen up in peaceful protest. They have declared that they have had enough of the past as present. However it ends, the terms of reference of debate and the future politics can never be the same.’
