North Africa is emerging as a pivotal region in global affairs. As a major energy supplier and key front on the global war on terror, developments in North Africa have a significant impact on regional as well as global trends. Opportunities for constructive engagement abound, yet legitimate concerns about long term stability remain unanswered.
To explore these challenges and opportunities, as well as examine key questions influencing long term stability, CSIS will host a one day conference entitled “Building Stability in North Africa: Prospects and Challenges.” We will use the event to explore a number of issues facing the states of the region individually and collectively and draw on a diverse range of experts from a broad scope of disciplines.
