Book
The Arab Spring
This book offers a rigorous comparative analysis of the Arab Spring uprisings that began in 2010, examining the diverse political outcomes across the Middle East and North Africa. It specifically addresses the central puzzle: why did some regimes fall and achieve democratic reforms, while others survived through harsh repression, and some descended into civil war? The authors employ a unified theoretical framework focusing on the state's reliance on security forces and the dynamics of elite cohesion to explain the varying pathways of reform and repression observed across the region.
