This volume is more than a collection of detailed thematic essays.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n 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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n Islamic Studies Series - Volume 12","brand":"Print on demand - Ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47242033758366,"sku":"HPC-9780522861600","price":47.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780522861600.jpg?v=1780361062","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780522861600","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
