Over the past two years, the Arab uprisings have swept through the Middle East, forcing governments to grapple with popular demands in new ways. To explain Saudi Arabia and Qatar’s responses to this transformative period, Princeton University Professor Bernard Haykel led a Gulf Roundtable discussion at the Center for Strategic and International Studies titled “The Gulf in a Changing Region” on November 30, 2012. He delivered a broad overview of the topic that explained not only the Gulf monarchies’ relative stability but also their approaches to managing transformations in the surrounding region.
