Owing to imperialism, Orientalism, and enduring stereotypes, commentary has revolved around a central query: Why is the region and its people so "backward"? The social sciences have remained focused on this question, albeit in a modified form, since the fall of the Soviet Union (Bayat 2013; Munif 2020). As researchers looked optimistically to a post-1989 future that appeared to be liberalizing, they asked why the wave of democracy sweeping the formerly colonized world had bypassed the MENA region. The answer provided, in one form or another, was that regimes led by autocrats, kings, and presidents-for-life were too powerful and the people too weak-too loyal, apathetic, divided, and tribal-to mount a credible challenge to authoritarian rule"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Arab Spring, 2010- 650 0 $a Arabs $z Foreign countries. 651 0 $a Arab countries $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Arabs $x Foreign countries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01906763 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a Arab countries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240128 648 7 $a Since 2000 $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Moss, Dana M. $t Arab Spring abroad $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2021 $z 9781108980036 $w (DLC) 2021014187 830 0 $a Cambridge studies in contentious politics. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018021732.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B7EF250AA5B811ECBC4A196C2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
