| | | Case analysis | | What Makes Yemen’s “Spring” Different? | | Ahmad Ali Al-Ahsab | | 22/02/2012 |  The different cultures, geographies, and societies, the extent of accumulated political circumstances, and the degree to which each people has insisted on change are all dimensions that make the "Arab Spring" different in each of the stations in which its train has stopped.

| Study | | The Political Regime in Iraq: Between Reform and Legitimacy | | Khader Abbas Radwan | | 16/01/2012 |  The Arab region has recently witnessed a wave of protests with varying end-results; these protest movements have shared similarities, as well as differences, as to their impetus and motivations.
