Wine and Cheese Evening: "Arab States and Beyond: The Domino Effect" |
Tuesday, 17 May 2011 |
After opening the evening with a brief history of the recent revolutionary movements in the Maghreb and Middle East, Ambassador El Daher asked the following questions and debated with students, alumni and guests present at the event: What sparked these revolutionary movements? Will they spread to the rest of the Arab world, and possibly beyond? What will happen next? How has the international community reacted thus far and what will it do next? How do these movements compare to past revolutions?
Ambassador El Daher served as head of mission for Lebanon in Japan, the Philippines, Australia, China, Switzerland, Great Britain, and Cyprus, as well as Legal Counselor to the Lebanese Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York. She teaches the course on Foreign Policy Formulation at AGS. She has chaired and participated in many conferences and symposia on dialogue of civilizations, cultural diversity, Middle East issues, women in the Arab world, et cetera. She was a member of the Cabinet of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and was head of the International Relations Department in Beirut. She has published several articles and prepared for UNESCO a handbook for teachers on disarmament. More photos: |
