Non-Western Encounters with Democratization: Imagining Democracy after the Arab Spring de Christopher K. Lamont

Non-Western Encounters with Democratization: Imagining Democracy after the Arab Spring

Autor Christopher K. Lamont, Jan van der Harst
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 mar 2015
Non-Western Encounters with Democratization offers diverse perspectives on democracy and transition spanning the Middle East and North Africa to East Asia. This unique collection of essays, drawn from contextually rich case studies presents readers with a variety of non-western encounters with democracy and provides important insights into the dramatic political and social transformations in these regions over the past decades. The book offers a deeper understanding of democratization and challenges the image of western democracy as a universal model to which non-western societies aspire. Taking the events of the Arab Spring as the starting point, international contributors look at why the uprisings that rapidly spread across North Africa and the Middle East had a strong resonance in East Asia but failed to inspire similar revolts. Through direct engagement with non-western experiences of political transition the book demonstrates a unique coherence across two regions relatively under explored in democratization literature.

Recenzii

’This book offers an outstanding and detailed account of politics and analysis of how democratic principles should be achieved in the Arab world. Comparing democratic principles in the West and how to apply them in the Middle East provides valuable understanding, not just for those interested in politics, but also for scholars interested in international, comparative and constitutional law. It makes a valuable contribution to the heated debate on Islamic law and its role in designing new Arab constitutions.’ Mohamed A. Arafa, Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law, USA ’Democracy as an ideal is universally embraced, but as a system of government providing political order, interest representation and collective decision making, it also faces serious tests. This timely volume provides thought provoking accounts on how a number of non-western countries and regions face up to such challenges.’ Zhengxu Wang, University of Nottingham, UK
