The Arab Uprisings that began in 2010 removed four presidents and
made more mobilized mass publics an increased factor in the
politics of regional states. The main initial problematic of the
Arab Uprising was how to translate mass protest into
democratization and ultimately democratic consolidation; yet four
years later, there was little democratization. This book explores
various aspects of this question while, comparing outcomes in three
states, Egypt, Syria and Tunisia. The introduction by Raymond
Hinnebusch explores how far different starting points -the features
of the regime and of the uprising--explain these pathways. Morten
Valbjorn then considers the consequences of the Arab uprisings for
the credibility of rival democratization and post-democratization
paradigms. Vincent Durac examines the efficacy of anti-system
social movements in challenging regimes but their inability to
steer a democratic transition. Joshua Stacher examines the
increased violence deployed by more conercive authoritarian regimes
to prevent such a transition. Frederic Volpi and Ewan Stein examine
the conseuences of the relative balance between different kinds of
Islamists for outcomes. James Allison then examines the impact of
workers' movements on democratic potentials. Adham Saouli assesses
the mobilization of communal identities by ruling elites and
counter-elites. Raymond Hinnebusch focuses on the negative impact
on democratization of competitive external interference inside the
uprising states. In Hinnebusch's conclusion, the combined effects
of the agency of these forces and the political, cultural, and
economic contexts in which they operate are summarized. This book
was previously published as a special issue of Democratization.
