What explains the enduring rule of authoritarian regimes in the
Arab world? Nicola Pratt offers an innovative approach to this
recurring question, shedding light on the failure of
democratization by examining both the broad dynamics of
authoritarianism in the region and the particular role of civil
society. Pratt appraises the part that civil society actors played
in the normalization of authoritarianism in the Middle East, the
challenges that new organized groups now pose to entrenched Arab
regimes, and the varying ways in which those regimes are
responding. She also explores the diversity of conceptions of
democracy among nonstate actors. Arguing against the idea that Arab
culture is inherently incompatible with democracy - the concept of
Middle East ""exceptionalism"" - she assesses the realistic
potential for democratization in the region.
