A searching and analytical panel discussion on the recent and ongoing crises in the Middle East, with a special focus on Israel, Palestine and Lebanon. How and why did these crises erupt, and what are the prospects for their resolution? How have they reverberated throughout the Middle East and beyond? What role have the United States and other outside powers played in the unfolding of these crises? What are the appropriate political, intellectual, legal or ethical paradigms for understanding these crises and seeking to resolve them? The speakers are Gershon Shafir (Director of the Institute for International, Comparative and Area Studies, UC San Diego), Richard Falk (Global and International Studies Department, UCSB), Juan Campo (Religious Studies Department, UCSB), and Salim Yaqub (History Department, UCSB). The moderator is Mark Juergensmeyer (Director of the Orfalea Center for Global and International Studies, UCSB).
