Tom Friedman wrote an NYT piece May 12, 2013 saying that, however unlikely it may sound, what is happening in Yemen is the best model for a successful outcome of the Arab Spring.
Why? It’s because in contrast to countries such as Tunisia and Egypt, Yemen is establishing an inclusive dialog about their country, prior to drafting and voting on a new constitution. “…different political factions, new parties, young people, women, Islamists, tribes, northerners and southerners are literally introducing themselves to one another in six months of talks…”
What’s this have to do with Metaphor Mapping? They follow the same approach of inclusion and collaboration, where the dialog is the source of mutual understanding, new ideas and commitment to work together!
