This open access handbook provides an overview of Arab authoritarianism and how it has evolved in the face of a global decade of protest, democratic decline, and surging conflict.

The chapters in this volume highlight the specificities of authoritarianism in the Arab world while also placing the region in the context of global trends. Contributions combine fresh theoretical analysis with rich case study information on actors, movements, communities, and dynamics that are often ignored in our understanding of this region. With an emphasis on voices from the Arab world, the contributions in this volume span a wide range of disciplinary approaches and address the following areas: strategies and practices of authoritarianism, international and transnational trends, the political economy of authoritarianism, identity, ideology, and resistance. Addressing these issues not only illuminates the persistence of authoritarianism in the region, but also what Arab authoritarianism teaches us about world politics.
