Why pen-pushers cause disasters - NOT our leaders
It would appear easy to blame populist leaders for disasters. But while human error certainly seems to play a part, it is often obscure bureaucrats who are actually at fault, says historian Niall Ferguson.

Ten years after the Arab Spring, is there still hope for democracy? (2/2) | DW Documentary - YouTube
Ten years after the Arab Spring, is there still hope for democracy? (2/2) | DW Documentary - YouTube
A decade after the Arab Spring, this film tells the story of the uprisings known as the "Arabellion." The protagonists describe how it started, what happened and what life is like today in Tunisia, Libya and Egypt. In despair about the hopelessness of his life, Tunisian street vendor Mohamed Bouazizi set himself on fire on December 10, 2010. His fate moved hundreds of thousands of mostly young people to take to the streets in protest against the regime. The protests not only ousted the dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, they also sparked a series of uprisings that rocked the Arab world. A new era of democracy, dubbed the "Arabellion" or "Arab Spring," seemed to be dawning; it was hoped that authoritarian structures would be swept away. Taking stock a decade on, however, is sobering. All across the Arab world, old regimes have been restored, wars have broken out and people are fleeing their homelands. Yet the Arabellion was not in vain, because the pressure for reform is as great as ever. This documentary gives a comprehensive overview of developments, looking for similarities between the 2011 uprisings and the current unrest in Lebanon and Iraq. The Arabellion is recounted from today’s vantage point and through the eyes of local protagonists. What is life like today in Tunisia, Libya and Egypt, ten years later? ـــــ DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.
