The recent Arab uprisings across North Africa and the Middle East
have attracted scholarly attention as popular movements with novel
transnational and religious dimensions. What became known as the
Arab Spring can be read as part of a broader politics of normative
defiance of predominant political and economic orders. From
religious conflicts and indigenous sovereign claims to
mobilizations of refugees and migrants in camps and urban settings,
it may be possible to speak of contemporary insurrectional politics
as social movements that emanate from normative positions which
pose significant challenges to systemic orders. The purpose of this
book is: to identify the material shifts giving rise to
insurrectional politics; to reflect on key arenas of insurrection;
to map/chart the impact of insurrectional movements on institutions
and relations of political governance at national and global
levels; and to explore analytics that will advance theorization of
insurrectional politics. This volume generates new knowledge on
systemic institutional transformations spanning the national and
global, by bringing together scholars whose work combines
theoretical inquiry with empirical analysis of contemporary
insurrectional politics. This book was originally published as a
special issue of the journal Globalizations.
