First came the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire following World
War I; then, in the 1950s and '60s, the Nasser-inspired wave of
Arab nationalism and socialism. The Arab world's third great
political cataclysm of the past 100 years has also brought
permanent changes, but not as its activists had hoped: the 2011
uprisings. Their consequences have differed greatly from area to
area, splintering the Arab region into four different worlds. The
Levant states have disintegrated, possibly irreversibly. The Gulf
monarchies have embarked on far- reaching plans of economic and
social change to stave off discontent. Egypt has retreated into
military authoritarianism and a war on Islamists, threatening its
future stability. Only the Maghreb countries, which have started
integrating Islamists into their political systems, offer some hope
for progress toward democracy. Marina and David Ottaway have
brought together fifty years of experience observing the Arab
world, and a wealth of first-hand information gathered from living
and travelling extensively in the region. A Tale of Four Worlds is
an indispensable analysis of the profound upheavals that have
shaken--and continue to transform--Arab and global politics.
