Long considered overwhelmingly resilient, Arab authoritarian
regimes have begun to fall in surprising manner. While the future
of governance in these countries is unclear, the new Arab
movements, largely secular and youthful, reveal a vital and
ambitious new Arab generation. For these youth, radical Islam has
lost its seductive appeal and religion is being marginalized. Women
now are far more visibly active in societies long bound by
tradition. The participants in the new movements prefer peaceful
means, but are prepared to fight if necessary to change the future.
They are motivated by a new global awareness from the internet and
the means provided by Facebook and other new media to quickly build
massive, powerful movements. Khosrokavar's compares the different
countries shaken by the protest movements and he contextualizes of
the demands and claims of the determined, democratically minded
participants. He also looks beyond the Arab world to show how the
Arab revolutions are leaving a deep imprint on countries like Iran,
where unsuccessful democratic movements began months before Tunisia
and Egypt. The new revolutions change the geo-politics of the
region and shed light on new dynamics in which the citizen's
dignity takes precedence over religion, community or even regional
issues like pan-Arabism. The movements reveal the true democratic
spirit of this new Arab generation which is largely unsympathetic
to the aims of Jihadi terrorist actions. Looking to the future,
Khosrokavar discusses how the new movements may change the world.
