The 'Arab Spring' has come to symbolise defeated hopes for
democracy and social justice in the Middle East. In this book,
Jamie Allinson demonstrates how these defeats were far from
inevitable. Rather than conceptualising the 'Arab Spring' as a
series of failed revolutions, Allinson argues it is better
understood as a series of successful counter-revolutions. By
comparing the uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt, Syria, Bahrain, Libya
and Yemen, this book shows how these profoundly revolutionary
situations were overturned by counter-revolutions. Placing the fate
of the Arab uprisings in a global context, Allinson reveals how
counter-revolutions rely on popular support and cross borders to
forge international alliances. By connecting the Arab uprisings to
the decade of global protest that followed them, this innovative
work demonstrates how new forms of counter-revolution have rendered
it near impossible to implement political change without first
enacting fundamental social transformation.
