The New Middle East is one of the first comprehensive books to
critically examine the Arab popular uprisings of 2011-12. While
these uprisings prompted a number of cursory publications, this
volume contains meticulous and thoughtful reflections on the
causes, drivers and effects of these seminal events on the
internal, regional and international politics of the Middle East
and North Africa. Although specific conditions in individual
countries that have experienced large-scale popular mobilizations
are investigated, they are neither treated in isolation nor
separated from broader developments in the region. Instead, the
authors highlight connections between individual case studies and
systemic conditions throughout the Arab arena. These include the
crisis of political authority, the failure of economic development
and new genres of mobilization and activism, especially
communication technology and youth movements. The careful analysis
and reflection on the prospects for democratic change in the region
ensures the book will have both an immediate and enduring appeal.
