The Arab Spring: Change And Resistance In The Middle East
Available To Downloads

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 change across the region ensued. The Arab Spring: Change and Resistance in the Middle East examines these revolutions and their aftermath. Noted authorities writing specifically for this volume contribute chapters focusing on countries directly or indirectly involved, illuminating the immediate and long-term impacts of the revolutions in the region and throughout the world. A thoughtful concluding chapter ties together key themes, while also delineating persistent myths and misinterpretations. This is an essential volume for students and scholars of the Middle East, as well as anyone seeking a fuller understanding of region and what may lie ahead.

In connection with my Great Decisions group, I read "The Arab Spring" to gain a better understanding of how the changes in Egypt are affecting other areas of the Middle East. I found this book to be Very Good in this regard. Each section profiles one country, including Turkey and Russia. The section authors obviously have spent a lot of time in their area and appear to be extremely knowledgeable. The book presents facts, not suppositions. The authors only express their own suggestions of what's next in the final paragraphs.
