| Editor's Choice IN THIS WEEK'S NEW STATESMAN... In this week's New Statesman we look at how the Arab revolt is changing the world. In an exclusive essay for the NS, Olivier Roy, one of the world's leading experts on the Middle East, says that the region's ruling elites and religious reactionaries haven't yet grasped that the restless young will not be bought off by superficial reform.
Elsewhere, Lydia Ness reports from inside Libya and says that the events of the past week remind us that under Gaddafi, it has always been one of the most "murderous regimes in the world". Meanwhile, John Pilger says the revolt in the Arab world is also a protest against a "worldwide economic tyranny" designed by the US, and Mehdi Hasan argues that David Cameron, like so many of his predecessors, has preached democracy while supporting autocracy.
Also this week, David Blanchflower says that America's "Tea Party of the left" is a warning to the coalition, award-winning novelist Phil Whitaker, who is a doctor, reflects on 30 years of upheaval in the NHS, and Laurie Penny decodes the royal wedding guest list.
