One Day Regional Seminar
On
Political Crisis in West Asia: Issues and Implications

Friday, 14thDecember 2012

Venue: College Auditorium

Organised by:
Department of History
in Collaboration with Chair for Islamic Studies and Research, University of Calicut

Dear Sir/ Madam,

There is no consensus on what to call the revolutionary movements that have spread across the West Asian region since the end of 2010. Though the movement started with the name ‘Jasmine Revolution’,many in the West refer to the ongoing demonstrations in the region as ‘Arab Spring’ and people in the Arab world prefer to speak of an ’Arab Awakening’. Whatever we call the development in the Arab World, it has emerged as one of the significant issues in international political arena today and a historic turning point of the region in particular.

So far the current uprising in the West Asian region has toppled some rulers (Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Yemen) and many others are attempting to address their people by introducing some economic and political reforms (Jordan, Oman, Kuwait etc.). While some governments are actively engaged in violence against their own people (Syria), others are anxiously watching the demonstrations in their cities. Taking all these developments together,the potential topic would be concerned with all of these stages of demographic turbulence and democratic transition in the region.

In this context, the Department of History, KAHM Unity Women’s College, Manjeri is conducting a one day Regional Seminar on the topic entitled “Political Crisis in West Asia: Issues and Implications” in the college auditorium 0n 14th December 2012 to explore dynamics of  the unending unrest in the Arab world. The students and staff of the Department cordially invite you to attend the seminar and make it a success.
Thanking you
With warm regards
