Beginning in January 2011, the Arab world exploded in a vibrant
demand for dignity, liberty, and achievable purpose in life, rising
up against an image and tradition of arrogant, corrupt,
unresponsive authoritarian rule. These previously unpublished,
country specific case studies of the uprisings and their still
unfolding political aftermaths identify patterns and courses of
negotiation and explain why and how they occur. The contributors
argue that in uprisings like the Arab Spring negotiation is "not
just a 'nice' practice or a diplomatic exercise." Rather, it is a
"dynamically multilevel" process involving individuals, groups, and
states with continually shifting priorities-and with the prospect
of violence always near. From that perspective, the essay sits
analyze a range of issues and events-including civil disobedience
and strikes, mass demonstrations and nonviolent protest, and
peaceful negotiation and armed rebellion-and contextualize their
findings within previous struggles, both within and outside the
Middle East. The Arab countries discussed include Algeria, Bahrain,
Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, and Yemen. The Arab Spring
uprisings are discussed in the context of rebellions in countries
like South Africa and Serbia, while the Libyan uprising is also
viewed in terms of the negotiations it provoked within NATO.
Collectively, the essays analyze the challenges of up risers and
emerging governments in building a new state on the ruins of a
liberated state; the negotiations that lead either to sustainable
democracy or sectarian violence; and coalition building between
former political and military adversaries.
