| Description: |
Fully updated paperback edition, with a new chapter assessing the key developments that have unfolded since 2013, this is the essential guide to understanding the roots of the current upheaval in the Arab world and its likely outcomes by the internationally renowned political scientist, Gilbert Achcar. |
| Synopsis: |
'The people want - ': So began the slogans chanted by millions of protesters across the Arab world in 2011, as their long-suppressed craving for democracy revealed itself. But huge social and economic problems were also laid bare by the protestors' demands, signalling the beginning of a long and complex revolutionary process. In this landmark work, noted Middle East specialist Gilbert Achcar analyses the socio-economic features that hinder the region's development, as well as the social and political dynamics of the uprisings, and sheds light on the various movements that use Islam as a political banner and their historical connections with the oil monarchies. This updated edition includes a new chapter assessing the key developments that have unfolded since 2013. |
