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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benjamin Isakhan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0522867529\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780522867527\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mup Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/24\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs","brand":"Benjamin Isakhan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48447753617663,"sku":"9780522867527","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fb33d993-4c38-4615-965d-a33e100a174c.jpg?v=1777234578","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/iss-12-the-arab-revolutions-benjamin-isakhan-9780522867527","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
