The Day After: President Saakashvili on Post-Revolutionary Societies and What Comes after the Arab Spring

The 2011 wave of revolutions and protests has sent a clear message to the international community: freedom, democracy and accountability matter. Nearly a decade before the Arab uprisings, the color revolutions swept across eastern Europe. As North Africa and other parts of the world seek to reinvent themselves, Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili will draw on Georgia's democratic transformation to explore the common challenges and opportunities that post-revolutionary societies face. His talk will address the myriad of issues that these new governments must undertake from building democratic institutions to confronting corruption and earning the trust of their empowered citizens.

The event will be webcast live beginning at 11:00am on February 1, 2012.
