It is clear by now that the label 'Arab Spring' has proven too
simplistic to describe the uprisings that upended the political
order of the Arab world in late 2010. Brutal crackdowns and civil
conflict in Syria, Libya, and Yemen dashed the hopes that peaceful
democratic revolutions would sweep the region. In other countries,
the departure of authoritarian leaders led to many false starts
without producing democratic conclusions. Societies that had
appeared united in opposition suddenly seemed fractious. Youth were
once again banished to the political margins. 'Reconstructing the
Middle East' examines the changes that happened within the region
from 2010 and the long-term challenges and opportunities they
present. Featuring the work of authors with a diversity of
perspectives, most of whom hail from the region, it addresses key
issues of political, economic and societal changes, the role of
young people and of the international community. In addition, the
book deals with the questions of both political and economic
reform, and the intertwined nature of the two. Political reform
that allows greater participation will fail to quell frustration if
Arabs continue to feel that their job prospects are bleak.
Similarly, Arabs will not accept economic reform that restores
growth but continues to fence off the political sphere. This book
offers a unique perspective on the uprisings by focusing on
specific issue areas where change is needed, and offering a roadmap
for the long road towards state building and new social contracts
based on political inclusion, respect for pluralism, and sustained
economic growth. As such, it will be a valuable resource for
students and scholars of Middle East Politics, as well as those
with an interest in the Arab Spring.
