This book examines the projects of administrative and territorial
reconstruction of Arab countries as an aftermath of the "Arab
Spring". Additionally, it looks into an active rethinking of the
former unitary model, linked by its critics with dictatorship and
oppression. The book presents decentralization or even
federalization as newly emerging major topics of socio-political
debate in the Arab world. As the federalist recipes and projects
are specific and the struggle for their implementation has a
pronounced variation, different case studies are presented.
Countries discussed include Libya, Syria, Yemen, and Iraq. The book
looks into the background and prerequisites of the federalist
experiments of the "Arab Spring", describes their evolution and
current state, and assesses the prospects for the future. It is,
therefore, a must-read for scholars of political science, as well
as policy-makers interested in a better understanding of previous
and current developments in the Arab countries.
This book offers a comparative perspective on the new wave of
revolutions in the MENA region. Recently, a new wave of revolutions
has swept the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region,
comparable in some respects to the events of the Arab Spring.
Revolutionary events have significantly changed the political
regimes in Sudan, Algeria and Mali, while Lebanon and Iraq have
also witnessed serious revolutionary episodes. Further, a new
quality of protests has manifested in Iran, Egypt, Morocco and
Jordan. Presenting a variety of country studies, this book
identifies similarities and differences between the events of the
Arab Spring and the current upheavals in the MENA region and
examines their causes and world-system context. It also analyzes
the motivating forces, goals and organizational forms of the
protesters and other actors involved, as well as the political and
economic consequences of these revolutionary events. Moreover, it
seeks to understand why some countries that were actively involved
in the Arab Spring have remained largely unaffected by these
developments. The book appeals to scholars of political science
with a focus on comparative politics, Middle Eastern politics and
political sociology.
