The End of Soft Power? The EU and the Middle East
The EUCE/ESC brings experts together via remote connection to discuss the range and level of European influence in the Middle East.

Almost two years after the Arab Spring, does Europe retain any influence, any ability to influence events? Panelists will include: Mohammed Bamyeh; Tal Sadeh; Urfan Khaliq; Beverly Crawford; and Eva-Maria Maggi. Moderated by Ronald Linden, Director, EUCE/ESC
