This book brings together experienced scholars from the region and
beyond to cast new light on the challenges facing democratic
transitions and democratic stability. Rather than taking refuge in
'context' and 'regional specificity' to excuse failures to unpack
Arab politics, the book argues that sound political science should
- and could - prove relevant across regions and cultures. This
radical critique reclaims and recasts the 'Transition Paradigm',
countering the habit of using advanced and successful democratic
transitions as a template to be followed in other regions. It
argues that the Arab (and broader Middle Eastern) experience has
important lessons to offer, even in its failures. For example, it
could help to explain the West's recent populist upsurge and other
democratic reversals.
