The Arab Uprisings revealed the limits of Western governments' policies towards the Middle East, especially the
EU's aim to be supporting the democratisation, development and stabilisation of the 'Euro-Mediterranean area'.
Using survey data, the Arab Transitions Project analyses what kind of society people actually want, what ordinary people think are the biggest challenges for their societies, and what they think about topics like democracy, corruption, religion, the economy, security, gender and migration. This talk outlines some of the Arab Transformations Project’s key results and uses them to reflect on what lessons European governments can learn and which must still be learned if further and more radical protest is to be avoided in future.
