Recenzii
Written in an engaging and accessible style, Civil resistance in the Arab Spring should be of interest to a wide readership including scholars, practitioners and students of the Middle East working in a range of fields.
No other book has explained the Arab Spring so thoroughly. It gives deep insight in the happenings in each country and explains why the Arab Spring failed to deliver upon its promises. The contributors scholarship is unmatched and their work answers many questions that had not been covered yet. Both experts and students of Middle East will hugely benefit from this book.
