Predictions for 2013

We asked five leading academics for their predictions for 2013.

Dr Berny Sebe discusses the Arab Spring and whether the dynamics of change in the Middle East could be altered.

Dr Jon Glasby predicts 2013 could be make or break for the Coalition's health and social care reforms.

Dr Gregor Leckenbusch predicts further cases of extreme weather in 2013.

Professor Russell Beale predicts Twitter will continue its upward climb while Facebook users will hollow out

Dr James Reade predicts Spanish glory in the Champions League and an Irish or French victory for the Heineken Cup.
