Before the 2011 uprisings, the Middle East and North Africa were frequently seen as a uniquely undemocratic region with little civic activism. The first edition of this volume, published at the start of the Arab Spring, challenged these views by revealing a region rich with social and political mobilizations. This fully revised second edition extends the earlier explorations of Egypt, Morocco, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, and adds new case studies on the uprisings in Tunisia, Syria, and Yemen.
The case studies are inspired by social movement theory, but they also critique and expand the horizons of the theory's classical concepts of political opportunity structures, collective action frames, mobilization structures, and repertoires of contention based on intensive fieldwork. This strong empirical base allows for a nuanced understanding of contexts, culturally conditioned rationality, the strengths and weaknesses of local networks, and innovation in contentious action to give the reader a substantive understanding of events in the Arab world before and since 2011.
The developments of early 2011 changes the political landscape of the Middle East. But even as urgent struggles continue, it remains clear that authoritarianism will survive this transformational moment. The study of authoritarian governance, therefore, remains essential for our understanding of the political dynamics and inner workings of regimes across the region.
This volume considers the Syrian and Iranian regimes—what they share in common and what distinguishes them. Too frequently, authoritarianism has been assumed to be a generic descriptor of the region and differences among regimes have been overlooked. But as the political trajectories of Middle Eastern states diverge in years ahead, with some perhaps consolidating democratic gains while others remaining under distinct and resilient forms of authoritarian rule, understanding variations in modes of authoritarian governance and the attributes that promote regime resilience becomes an increasingly urgent priority.

Описание: Samira Farhoud analyse dans ce livre incontournable l’importance de la contribution de l’ecriture autobiographique maghrebine au developpement de la litterature francophone a partir de l’?uvre d’Assia Djebar, de Sakinna Boukhedenna, de Fatiah, de Malika Oufkir et de Fatima Mernissi. Elle examine la complexite, l’hybridite et l’heterogeneite du « je » autobiographique. Son etude archeologique et genealogique inedite du « je » decele la richesse du genre autobiographique pratique par des auteures issues du Maghreb. Elle montre comment le « je » ramasse des traditions arabo-islamique, occidentale et cosmopolite. Cet heritage de traditions mediterraneennes est observe comme un « butin de guerre » sociolinguistique et socioculturel bien qu’une « sequelle » d’un amer passe colonial. Ce « metissage » de cultures se demarque par son ambivalence. Le « je » de Djebar, Mernissi, Fatiah et Boukhedenna s’oppose au paternalisme politique au nom des femmes et des « voix des femmes invisibles. » Le « je » devient un « nous » de « sororite » («sisterhood») entre les femmes. Toutefois, le « je » de Malika Oufkir reste delimite par le nombrilisme familial (le « nous Oufkir »). Le « nous » sera diasporique et liminal sous la plume (le qalam) de Sakinna Boukhedenna. Dans sa quete d’identite, elle rejette les concepts de citoyennete et adopte une « Nationalite : immigre(e) » et reclame une nouvelle identite, celle d’une femme arabe libre sur « le chemin de l’exil » et de l’ecriture. L’ecriture autobiographique des femmes phares et elites comme Assia Dejbar et Fatima Mernissi et des ecrivaines occasionnelles a l’image de Sakinna Boukhedenna, Fatiah et Malika Oufkir collaborent a la comprehension sociopolitique du Maghreb, de l’Europe et surtout de la France (l’ancien pays colonisateur) dans leur lecture et reecriture de l’Histoire (avec un grand « h »). Elles deconstruisent l’Histoire et l’autobiographie dans leur ecriture et contestent les autorites paternalistes coloniales et nationales.

Since the 1990s, questions of Japanese wartime conduct, apologies for aggression, and compensation to former victims of the country's imperial policies, have been brought to the fore of national and regional politics. The state is undoubtedly the most important actor in the process of memory production and along with conservative legislators and the grass-root revisionist movement there has been a consistent trend towards denying or undermining the existing acknowledgments of responsibility for Japan's wartime past. However, to fully comprehend war memory in Japan, due attention must be paid to competing discourses that demand an alternative view, and only then can the complexity of Japanese war memory and attitudes towards the legacies of the Asia-Pacific war be understood.
The Politics of War Memory in Japan examines the involvement of five civil society actors in the struggle over remembering and addressing the wartime past in Japan today. In studying progressive war memory activists, it quickly becomes clear that the apologia by conservative politicians cannot be treated as representative of the opinion of the majority of the Japanese public. Indeed, this book seeks to remedy the disparity between studies devoted to the official level of addressing the 'history issue' and the grass-root historical revisionist movement on the one side, and progressive activism on the other. Furthermore, it contributes to scholarly debates on the state of civil society in Japan, challenging the characterisation of Japanese civil society as a depoliticised space by demonstrating a more contentious side of civil society activism.
Drawing important new empirical research, this book will be of huge interest to students and scholars of Japanese civil society, Japanese politics, Japanese history and memory in Japan.

The establishment of democracy on both sides of the Atlantic has not been a smooth evolution towards an idealized presumed endpoint. Far from it, democratization has been marked by setbacks and victories, a process often referred to as 'contested democracy'. In view of recent mobilizations such as the Arab Spring and the Occupy movement, in which new technologies have played a key role, there is a need for a renewed analysis of the long-term evolution of US and UK political systems.
Using new areas of research, this book argues that the ideals and the practices of Anglo-American democracy can be best understood by studying diverse forms of participation, which go beyond classical expressions of contestation and dissent such as voting. The authors analyze political parties, social movements, communications and social media, governance, cultural diversity, identity politics, public-private actors and social cohesion to illustrate how the structure and context of popular participation play a significant role in whether, and when, citizens efforts have any meaningful impact on those who exercise political power. In doing so, the authors take crucial steps towards understanding how a vigorous public sphere and popular sovereignty can be made to work in today's global environment.
This book will be of interest to students and scholars of political science, British and US history, democracy, political participation, governance, social movements and politics.
