[RED DEMOCRATICA] Libya's Leadership Crisis--Indonesia's Lessons for Egypt--Al-Jazeera's Influence: This Week on CFR's Religion and Foreign Policy Portal

 

February 24, 2011 View this newsletter as a web page on CFR's website. LIBYA'S LEADERSHIP CRISIS It is unclear whether Muammar Qaddafi's regime will survive after a failed, but brutal, crackdown on protesters. However, if Qaddafi goes, CFR Senior Fellow Robert Danin says Libya lacks the elements needed for a smooth and peaceful transition of power. ==>For more CFR analysis on the situation in Libya and throughout the Middle East, visit CFR Senior Fellow Elliott Abrams' blog Pressure Points. INDONESIA'S LESSONS FOR EGYPT In this Expert Brief, CFR Adjunct Senior Fellow Karen Brooks highlights the parallels between Egypt's post-Mubarak and Indonesia's post-Suharto transitions. Following Indonesia's example, she argues that the Muslim Brotherhood should be incorporated into Egyptian politics rather than marginalized. ==>Explore CFR Senior Fellow Steven Cook's blog From the Potomac to the Euphrates for more analysis of the political transition in Egypt. AL-JAZEERA: THE WORLD THROUGH ARAB EYES Al-Jazeera has been instrumental in covering protests in the Arab world. In this CFR podcast, Washington bureau chief for al-Jazeera Arabic Abderrahim Foukara suggests that Western perceptions of al-Jazeera are adapting to its pervasive influence in the Arab and Muslim world. ==>Visit CFR's Issue Guide on Arab World Protests for more resources on the political unrest sweeping across the Middle East.   UPCOMING RELIGION AND FOREIGN POLICY CONFERENCE CALL Islam and Democracy in the Middle East Monday, February 28 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. (ET) Speaker: REZA ASLAN, Contributing Editor, Daily Beast; Associate Professor of Creative Writing, University of California, Riverside Calls are limited to religious and congregational leaders and scholars.
