Considers the history of citizenship in Yemen and Tunisia to explain why democratic participation was undermined after the 2011 revolutionary wave.

Recenzje

'Challand's approach is well constructed. The ow of information he supplies, in line with the historic and theoretical positions discussed, gives the reader a robust account of the complexity of Arab politics. His linking of the historic backgrounds, colonial rule, and Arab independence paves the way for his analysis of the Arab uprisings of the 2010s and lays the foundation for this seminal work on vis populi, the power or force of the people.'
