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. \u003ci\u003eThe Arab Revolutions in Context\u003c\/i\u003e is the first volume of its kind to address the Arab Revolutions and the varying analyses, debates and discussions that they have stimulated.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Melbourne University Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52530941853976,"sku":"9780522867527","price":33.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/iss-12-the-arab-revolutions-in-context-civil-society-and-democracy-in-a-changing-middle-east-hardback-9780522867527","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
