The Arab Spring: The Hope and Reality of the Uprisings 2nd Edition
Purchase options and add-ons
Beginning in late 2010, peaceful protests against entrenched regimes unexpectedly erupted in a number of Arab countries, causing political upheaval across the region. Through contributions from noted scholars, The Arab Spring provides a comprehensive overview of the causes, key issues, and aftermath of these events. Divided into two parts, the book first examines the Arab countries most dramatically impacted by the uprisings, as well as why some of their Arab neighbors avoided large-scale protests. The second part explores other countries inside and outside the region-that have a stake and interest in the uprisings.
The second edition includes a new chapter on Iraq and coverage of developments in the region since 2012 and how they have altered initial assessments of the Arab Spring's effects. New part introductions and a revised concluding chapter provide contextualization and comparative analyses of key themes and broader questions. This is an essential volume for students and scholars seeking the fullest understanding of how the Arab uprisings continue to impact the region and the world.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"A solid volume that sheds further light on the Arab uprisings. Students will find this book empirically rich and analytically rigorous. A welcome addition to the literature on the most significant peaceful collective action in the modern history of the Middle East."―Fawaz A. Gerges, Professor of International Relations at the London School of Economics and author of Contentious Politics in the Middle East: Popular Resistance and Marginalized Activism beyond the Arab Uprisings
"The Arab Spring: The Hope and Reality of the Uprisings is a critically essential, informed and informative volume for students, scholars, and non-specialist general readers seeking the fullest understanding of how the Arab uprisings continue to impact the region and the world in general, and United States foreign policies in particular."―Midwest Book Review
From the Back Cover
?The Arab Spring provides a fine collection of essays by noted experts on the Arab Spring revolts and their impacts. It is a must for any serious Middle East political studies library.” —Midwest Book Review, 2013
?This is one of the best books to cover the topic of the Arab Spring from numerous approaches?the national, the regional, and the geopolitical. It offers thoughtful, intuitive analyses of the often complicated and misunderstood causes of the Arab Spring.” —Curtis Richardson, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
The Arab Spring unexpectedly developed in late 2010 with peaceful protests in a number of Arab countries against long-standing, entrenched regimes, and rapid political upheaval across the region ensued. With contributions from noted scholars, The Arab Spring provides a comprehensive overview of the causes, the key events, and the aftermath of these revolutions. Divided into two parts, the book first examines the Arab countries directly involved and most dramatically impacted by the uprisings, as well as why some of their Arab neighbors avoided large-scale revolutions. The second part explores other countries—both in and outside of the region—that have a stake and interest in the uprisings.
The second edition has been thoroughly updated to include coverage of developments in the Middle East and North Africa since 2012 and how they have altered initial assessments of Arab Spring’s effects, as well as a brand-new chapter on Iraq. New part introductions and a revised concluding chapter provide contextualization and comparative analysis of the key themes and broader questions. This is an essential volume for students and scholars of the Middle East seeking the fullest understanding of how the uprisings continue to impact the region and the world.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2017great price
- Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2019I can see why the editors chose to "edit" rather than "write" the book. Their writing in the introductory chapter is abysmal. And they are both professors? And what about the publisher? No text editor to proof read for grammar on staff. The content of this text, no doubt, deserves a five star rating, but I can't believe what passes for academic writing these days.
