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. \u003cem\u003eThe Arab Revolutions in Context\u003c\/em\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":52530941034776,"sku":"9780522861600","price":22.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-arab-revolution-in-context-civil-society-and-democracy-in-a-changing-middle-east-paperback-softback-9780522861600","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
