This meeting note refers to the seminar "The Uprisings: The Future of North Africa and the Middle East" held in Vienna in May 2012. It highlighted many of the challenges now faced in the transition processes by countries in the region, including economic hardship, security-sector reform, and rebuilding state institutions riddled by corruption and nepotism. More than 100 participants took part, including senior government officials from the region, representatives of the diplomatic corps, experts from think tanks, journalists, and students.
