What does it mean to promote 'transitions to democracy' in the
Middle East? How have North American, European and multilateral
projects advanced human rights, authoritarian retrenchment or
Western domination? This book examines transnational programs in
Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Yemen, Lebanon, Tunisia, Algeria, the
exceptional cases of Palestine and Iraq, and the Arab region at
large during two tumultuous decades. To understand the
controversial and contradictory effects of political aid, Sheila
Carapico analyzes discursive and professional practices in four key
subfields: the rule of law, electoral design and monitoring,
women's political empowerment and civil society. From the
institutional arrangements for extraordinary undertakings such as
Saddam Hussein's trial or Palestinian elections to routine
templates for national women's machineries or NGO networks, her
research explores the paradoxes and jurisdictional disputes
confronted by Arab activists for justice, representation and
'non-governmental' agency.
