About This Event

Along with far-reaching political reforms, the countries of the Middle East need to restructure their economies. Peace and security in the region will largely depend on whether they succeed. Europe’s new democracies went through a similar experience more than a decade ago during the transition from communism to democratic capitalism. Can those transformations teach us anything about the Middle East? Please join us for this discussion with Leszek Balcerowicz, twice Poland’s deputy prime minister, the architect of its successful economic shock therapy, and a patron of the New Atlantic Initiative.
