It's been a year since the rise of the Arab Spring. Multiple leaders have fallen, several countries are still mired in struggle, and a few have even held elections.

• What broad lessons can we draw from the year's events?
• How have those events affected others around the world?
• Where might these forces take us over the next few years?
