The Arab Revolutions in Context seizes a unique opportunity to reflect on these seismic events, their causes and consequences, and the core issues facing the region as it moves forward. This volume is more than a collection of detailed thematic essays.It situates the Arab Revolutions within their broader contextual backgrounds - showing that a unique set of historical events, as well as local, regional and global dynamics, has converged to provide the catalyst that triggered the recent revolts-and also within a new conceptual framework. The argument here is that the Arab Revolutions pose a very specific challenge to conventional wisdom concerning democracy and democratisation in the Middle East. The Arab Revolutions in Context is the first volume of its kind to address the Arab Revolutions and the varying analyses, debates and discussions that they have stimulated.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: AUItem Height: 217mmItem Length: 141mmItem Width: 16mmItem Weight: 342gGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social SciencesAuthor: No AuthorRelease Year: 2014 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
