RA #2

Reading Analysis Paper #2

In Ways of the World, Strayer discusses the “Atlantic revolutions and their echoes.” What does he mean by this phrase? Can the same concept be applied to the ongoing 2011 revolutions and rebellions in North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, which began with a relatively small and local occurrence in Tunisia? Use the “Region in Turmoil” link of the Al Jazeera news website at www.aljazeera.com to begin your research. There, you will find a background and timeline for events in each country.

Your paper should be three double-spaced pages in length, including Header and Works Cited. Arial font, 11 point, is preferred. Times New Roman 12 point may also be used. Margins no greater than 1 inch, please. Examples of the proper format for your Header and Works Cited sections appear on this handout.
