Analysis of North African revolt against authoritarianism, known as
the 'Arab Spring', embraced reductionist explanations such as the
social media, youth unemployment and citizens' agitations to regain
dignity in societies humiliated by oppressive regimes. This book
illustrates that reductionist approaches can only elucidate some
symptoms of a social problem while leaving unexplained the economic
and political structures which contributed to it. One outcome of
quiescence, resource-based ethnic and sectarian conflicts and
faulty development paradigm is deepened inequality and a wedge
between winners and losers or affluence, wealth and power vis-a-vis
poverty and hunger among humiliated jobless and hope-less masses.
The book blends theories of development and transition to explain
the complex factors which contributed to North Africans' revolt
against authoritarianism and its long-term consequences for
political development in the Arab World. This timely book is of
great interest to researchers and students in Development Studies,
Economics and Middle Eastern Studies as well as policy makers and
democracy, human rights and social justice activists in the Arab
world.
