Description
Beyond the Arab Spring: The Evolving Ruling Bargain in the Middle East by Mehran Kamrava explores the transformation of political systems across the region. The dominant 'ruling bargain' that emerged in the 1950s is unraveling, replaced by new and evolving conceptions of authority and legitimacy. The book examines how power is being redefined through various devices, institutions, and processes, including mass protests, civil wars, and elections. It assesses the roles and functions of key actors and institutions, such as political parties and armed forces, in shaping these new systems. By analyzing the nature and evolution of ruling bargains, this book provides insight into the structural consequences of their unraveling and the impact on the Middle East since 2010.
