While the Arab uprisings have overturned the idea of Arab
"exceptionalism," or the acceptance of authoritarianism, better
analysis of authoritarianism's resilience in pre- and post-uprising
scenarios is still needed. Modern Middle East Authoritarianism:
Roots, Ramifications, and Crisis undertakes this task by addressing
not only the mechanisms that allowed Middle Eastern regimes to
survive and adapt for decades, but also the obstacles that certain
countries face in their current transition to democracy. This
volume analyzes the role of ruling elites, Islamists, and others,
as well as variables such as bureaucracy, patronage, the strength
of security apparatuses, and ideological legitimacy to ascertain
regimes' life expectancies and these factors' post-uprisings
repercussions. Discussing not only the paradigms through which the
region has been analyzed, but also providing in-depth case studies
of Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Iran,
the authors arrive at critical conclusions about dictatorship and
possibilities for its transformation. Employing diverse research
methods, including interviews, participant observation, and
theoretical discussions of authoritarianism and political
transition, this book is essential reading for scholars of Middle
East Studies, Islamic Studies and those with an interest in the
governance and politics of the Middle East.
