Arab Spring-Arab fall : divergent transitions in post-2011 Tunisia and Egypt / Ayfer Erdogan - Lanham : Lexington Books, cop. 2021 - (255 p.)
Bibliogr. p. 223-244
The popular protests in early 2011 were once seen as a turning point in the history of the Arab world, raising hopes for democracy, freedom, and justice in the Middle East. A decade after the uprisings, these hopes are largely dashed in each country swept by popular protests with the exception of Tunisia. Tunisia became the only democracy in the entire region while Egypt saw its first freely elected president and government thrown out by the army in a bloody coup which resulted in a regime that is no less authoritarian than Mubarak s. This book provides a detailed analysis of the political, economic, and constitutional developments in Tunisia and Egypt. In the light of the existing literature on comparative democratization, the author explores why Egypt s path to democratization was eroded by several transitional actors while Tunisian political elite managed to move the country towards democracy
