The works collected in The Lure of Authoritarianism consider the
normative appeal of authoritarianism in light of the 2011 popular
uprisings in the Middle East. Despite what seemed to be a popular
revolution in favor of more democratic politics, there has instead
been a slide back toward authoritarian regimes that merely gesture
toward notions of democracy. In the chaos that followed the Arab
Spring, societies were lured by the prospect of strong leaders with
firm guiding hands. The shift toward normalizing these regimes
seems sudden, but the works collected in this volume document a
gradual shift toward support for authoritarianism over democracy
that stretches back decades in North Africa. Contributors consider
the ideological, socioeconomic, and security-based justifications
of authoritarianism as well as the surprising and vigorous
reestablishment of authoritarianism in these regions. With careful
attention to local variations and differences in political
strategies, the volume provides a nuanced and sweeping
consideration of the changes in the Middle East in the past and
what they mean for the future.
