As Egypt retreats from its newly elected government and Syria moves
from one crisis to another, this book's reflection on the Arab
Spring could not be more timely. Monshipouri's account of the role
of emotion, solidarity, and online activism is informed by several
trips to the region that continue to this day. The uprisings were
fueled by a demographic surge of young people unable to find
employment and frustrated by the lack of freedom, and now the
elected regime has been ousted for failing to address these
continuing circumstances. While modern technologies and social
media may have brought new politics to the streets, organization on
the ground trumps the enthusiasm of young protesters when it comes
to shaping a country's political future. How to turn elections into
democracy in these post-conflict societies continues to be a
daunting task, especially in countries with a longstanding history
of military involvement in politics now experiencing a resurgence.
This book addresses all of these subjects in an engaging and
accessible narrative. Key features of the text:
