The uprisings which spread across the Middle East and North Africa
in late 2010 and 2011 irrevocably altered the way in which the
region is now perceived. But in spite of the numerous similarities
in these protests, from Tunisia and Egypt to Yemen and Bahrain,
their broader political effects display important differences. This
book analyses these popular uprisings, as well as other forms of
protest, and the impact they had on each state. Why were Mubarak
and Bin Ali ousted relatively peacefully in Egypt and Tunisia,
while Qadafi in Libya and Saleh in Yemen fought violent battles
against their opponents? Why do political transformations differ in
countries that were able to shed their autocratic presidents? And
why have other regimes, including Morocco and Saudi Arabia,
experienced only limited protests or managed to repress and
circumvent them? Looking at the aftermath and transitional
processes across the region, this book is a vital retrospective
examination of the uprisings and how they can be understood in the
light of state formation and governmental dynamics.
