The 2011 Arab Spring is the story of what happens when autocrats
prepare their militaries to thwart coups but unexpectedly face
massive popular uprisings instead. When demonstrators took to the
streets in 2011, some militaries remained loyal to the autocratic
regimes, some defected, whilst others splintered. The widespread
consequences of this military agency ranged from facilitating
transition to democracy, to reconfiguring authoritarianism, or
triggering civil war. This study aims to explain the military
politics of 2011. Building on interviews with Arab officers,
extensive fieldwork and archival research, as well as hundreds of
memoirs published by Arab officers, Hicham Bou Nassif shows how
divergent combinations of coup-proofing tactics accounted for
different patterns of military behaviour in 2011, both in Egypt and
Syria, and across Tunisia, and Libya.
