The tens of thousands of protesters who took to the streets in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, and Syria clamored nonviolently for regime change. Urban poor, Westernized elite, Islamists, union activists, liberals, and leftists mobilized along cross-class, cross-regional, and non-partisan lines. The commonalities in terms of motivations, grievances, protest size, as well as the peaceful nature of the popular mobilization, were unmistakable. And yet the popular movements triggered markedly different military responses. In Syria and Bahrain, the armed forces sanctioned bloodbaths to defend their masters. In contrast, the militaries refrained from using violence in Egypt and Tunisia. And troops splintered in Libya and Yemen where some units defected wholesale whereas others stayed loyal and willing to uphold autocracy. In every case, the armed forces sat at the crux of the unfolding cataclysmic events and structured the fortunes and misfortunes of democracy in the Arab region. But why was the military reaction to these upheavals strikingly dissimilar? This is the central question of this book"-- $c Provided by publisher 650 0 $a Civil-military relations $z Arab countries. 651 0 $a Arab countries $x Military policy. 651 0 $a Arab countries $x Political activity. $x Political activity. 650 0 $a Arab Spring, 2010- 650 0 $a Protest movements $z Arab countries $x History $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Armed Forces $x Political activity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00814621 650 7 $a Civil-military relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862889 650 7 $a Military policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01021386 650 7 $a Protest movements. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01079826 651 7 $a Arab countries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240128 648 7 $a Since 2000 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Nassif, Hicham Bou. $t Endgames. $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2021 $z 9781108893695 $w (DLC) 2020011139 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526015624.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=14B10AE4177D11EC850ADFAD22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
