(CNN) -- It all happened so fast. In January, less than a month after fruit vendor Mohammed Bouazizi lit himself on fire, nationwide protests in Tunisia forced out President Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali. One month later, Egypt experienced its own revolution, and unrest spread across the region to other countries such as Bahrain, Jordan, Syria and Yemen. But in the last couple of months, it seems, the rate of change has slowed. A stalemate has developed in Libya's civil war. Government leaders aren't budging in Bahrain or Syria, and Yemen's future is still up in the air. So what happens next? Is more change on the way, or have we already seen the peak of what some call the "Arab Spring"?

@placeholder reached out to five experts for opinion and analysis.
Tunisia
Prior to the revolutions, a network of civil society groups had developed in Egypt and @placeholder, cultivating a civic culture that promoted popular engagement and democracy.

One major lesson that @placeholder and Egypt shared with their fellow Arabs is that dictatorships do have an end and that they can be abolished sooner than many think.

The @placeholder and Egyptian paradigm of regime change in three weeks probably cannot be repeated.

The countries at risk -- particularly Libya, Yemen, @placeholder and Bahrain -- are unlikely to follow one particular path because each one of them has its own set of dynamics and domestic drivers for change.
Bahrain

The countries at risk -- particularly Libya, Yemen, Syria and @placeholder -- are unlikely to follow one particular path because each one of them has its own set of dynamics and domestic drivers for change.

In @placeholder and Egypt, we have seen people inspiring others to revolt; however, in the new paradigm, we are seeing dictators inspiring dictators to resist.
