"Democracy in the Middle East: Islamists, Liberals, and the Battle for the Heart of the Arab Revolutions"

This panel will focus on the ongoing struggle between Islamists and liberals in capturing the heart of the Arab revolutions. The discussion will highlight key questions, such as: What is democracy in the Middle East? How can countries such as Egypt, Tunisia, and Libya reconcile pluralism with liberalism? Has the Arab Spring really been the "Islamist Spring?"

Featuring Madeleine K. Albright, Richard Haass, Mona Eltahawy, and Andrea Mitchell
