Beginning in December 2010, a series of uprisings swept the Arab
world, toppling four longtime leaders and creating an apparent
political opening in a region long impervious to the "third wave"
of democratization. Despite the initial euphoria, the legacies of
authoritarianism-polarized societies, politicized militaries,
state-centric economies, and pervasive clientelism - have proven
stubborn obstacles to the fashioning of new political and social
contracts. Meanwhile, the strong electoral performance of political
Islamists and the ensuing backlash in Egypt have rekindled
arguments about the compatibility of democracy and political Islam.
Even though progress toward democracy has been halting at best, the
region's political environment today bears little resemblance to
what it was before the uprisings. In Democratization and
Authoritarianism in the Arab World, leading scholars address the
questions posed by this period of historic change in the Middle
East and North Africa. This volume includes chapters examining
several broad themes: the region's shifting political culture, the
relationship between democracy and political Islam, the legacy of
authoritarian ruling arrangements, the strengths and
vulnerabilities of remaining autocracies, and the lessons learned
from transitions to democracy in other parts of the world. It also
features chapters analyzing the political development of individual
countries: Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Libya, Morocco, Saudi
Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, Yemen, and the monarchies of the Gulf.
