This book offers a much-needed corrective to dominant approaches to
understanding political causality during episodes of intense social
mobilisation, specifically with a North African context. Drawing on
analyses of routine governance and of 'revolutionary' mobilisation
in four countries of the Maghreb -- Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and
Libya -- before, during and after the 2011 uprisings, Volpi
explains the different trajectories of these uprisings by showing
how specific acts of protest created new arenas of contention that
provided actors with new rationales, practices and, ultimately,
identities. The book illustrates how the dynamics of revolutionary
episodes are characterised by the social and political
de-institutionalisation of routine mechanisms of (authoritarian)
governance. It also details how post-uprising
re-institutionalisation and/or conflict are shaped by reconstructed
understandings of the uprisings by actors, who are themselves
partially the products of these episodes of phenomena.
