However, instead of achieving their goals, the Arab revolts, outside of Tunisia, led to civil wars, authoritarian retrenchment, and the Islamic State-a totalitarian, bloodthirsty, and theatrically barbaric "caliphate" that revels in killing ordinary Muslims who they deem apostates. I explain these disappointing and even harrowing results based on how well transitional elites handled major democratic consolidation challenges. Those include extricating the military from politics, political parties forging a democratic bargain, reaching national consensus on a new socioeconomic pact to legitimize democracy, establishing transitional justice, national reconciliation, human rights, and the rule of law, and forging national unity and modern state attributes-if necessary. Elites who had to nation-build and state-build at the same time as they implemented political democracy-in Libya, Yemen, and Iraq-failed, understandably, to do so and their countries collapsed into civil wars. Political parties in Tunisia reached a democratic bargain. Transitional elites could not extricate Egypt's military from politics"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Democratization $z Arab countries $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Civil war $z Arab countries $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Islam and politics $z Arab countries $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Arab Spring, 2010- 651 0 $a Arab countries $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Civil war. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862883 650 7 $a Democratization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890123 650 7 $a Islam and politics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00979879 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a Arab countries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240128 650 7 $a Demokratisierung $2 gnd 650 7 $a Innerstaatlicher Konflikt $2 gnd 650 7 $a Politischer Wandel $2 gnd 650 7 $a Radikalisierung $2 gnd 651 7 $a Arabische Staaten $2 gnd 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a King, Stephen J.
