McFaul Journal of Democracy article cited in Lebanese Daily Star

In the News: Daily Star (Lebanon) on April 23, 2008

Daily Star journalist Rami G. Khouri discusses "Morocco's Elections: The Limits of Limited Reforms," a January 2008 Journal of Democracy article that CDDRL Director Michael McFaul wrote with Tamara Wittes of the Brookings Institution. McFaul and Wittes argue that Arab instability often reflects a lack of democracy, says Khouri, and that the parliamentary elections in Morocco last September offered important insights into what might happen when Arabs are given a chance to engage in democratic politics.
