The Possibility of Regime Change in the Middle East: The Egyptian, Syrian, Saudi Arabian and Iranian Case Models

January 18, 2014

The Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University has produced an interesting study looking at how the rapidly evolving security situation that began with the Arab Spring in 2011 threatens to destabilize certain regimes in the region. This case study looks at the multitude of factors which led to the downfall of the Mubarak regime in Egypt in 2011. The study then examines whether the Syrian, Saudi Arabian and Iranian regime face similar problems that could potentially lead to the collapse of their governments. The study can be accessed here.
