Entelis -- Transitions from authoritarian rule following the Arab uprisings : a matter of variables / Justin O. Frosini and Francesco Biagi Summary "The transformations which are taking place in the Arab world are dynamic processes characterised by a number of variables that one can refer to as actors and factors. The implications of the Arab uprisings are important for the world at large; the Arab world's successes, and failures, at this crucial moment may well serve as a model for other nations. Political and Constitutional Transitions in North Africa focuses on five Northern African countries; Tunisia, Egypt, Morocco, Libya and Algeria, examining specific institutions and actors participating in the political upheavals in North Africa since 2011, and placing them in a comparative perspective in order to better understand the processes at work. Transition from authoritarian rule addresses issues pertinent to an array of fields including; constitutional law, political science and international relations, and this book contains the contributions of experts in all these fields. Providing a significant contribution to the understanding of events that followed the immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi in Tunisia, this book is a valuable contribution to North African Studies, Middle Eastern Studies and Transitional Studies"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Subject Democratization -- Africa, North Democratization -- Arab countries Constitutional law -- Africa, North Constitutional law -- Arab countries Arab Spring, 2010- POLITICAL SCIENCE -- Essays.
