Review
“An outstanding collection of essays concerning one of the most important questions facing present-day political analysis of the Middle East. This book sheds fresh light on the history of the region's authoritarian regimes, their persistence, and their possible futures.” —Roger Owen, Harvard University
"This book provides revealing insights into despotic governance in the Arab countries." —Nader Fergany, lead author, Arab Human Development Report, 2002-2005
"In contrast to the democratic deficit literature that purports to explain the absence of democracy in the Middle East, this superb collection of essays provides a theoretically sophisticated account of the origins and
nature of authoritarian persistence and durability. The contributors bring a variety of theoretical and empirical perspectives, and their endeavors are animated by a common research agenda that gives analytical coherence to this illuminating volume."—Daniel Brumberg, Georgetown University
Product Description
This volume inquires into the working mechanisms, the inner logic, and the durability of authoritarian rule in Arab countries. Written by leading American, European, and Arab experts, the collected essays explore the ongoing political dynamics of the region and show how Arab regimes retain power despite ongoing transformations on regional, national, and international levels and in societal, political, and economic spheres.
The findings of this book strongly suggest that democratization remains off the agenda in any Arab country for the foreseeable future. Domestic political protests, international pressure toward more liberal governance, and “reform-oriented” regimes notwithstanding, Debating Arab Authoritarianism indicates that while the impetus for political change is strong, it is in the direction of an adaptation to changed circumstances and may even be a revitalization or consolidation of authoritarian rule rather than a systemic transition to democracy.
