10 Years After the Arab Spring: Protest Cycles in the Middle East and North Africa in Context (Lecture Series, Summer Semester 2021)
The Arab uprisings of 2011 unfolded along three principal tracks: After initial success, the Egyptian revolution was soon coopted by Islamists, before the old elites reasserted their power and re-established authoritarian rule. What options do people have in this dictatorship 2.0? The Syrian dictator Assad did everything to crush a civil uprising with violent means. The country descended into (civil) war und became a theatre for regional and international power struggles. What hope remains for Syria? Only in Tunisia people managed to channel the revolutionary energy of 2011 into a political transformation process. But is the only Arab democracy not merely a wishful projection of the West, whose actions simultaneously risk to destabilize the country?
