Opis

This book analyzes the contestations for power in those Arab countries that witnessed a change in the (formal) prime decision maker as a result of the so-called Arab Spring and where a formal transformation process was enacted. It identifies competing centres of power, analyses the dynamics between them, and asks how and to what degree the citizens who initiated the protest movements have achieved a say in the shaping of the futures of their countries.
