Colombo, Silvia Ten Years of Protests in the Middle East and North Africa (303432894X)
Despite being challenged by authoritarian counter-revolutionary responses, the Coronavirus
pandemic, and a complex (geo)political context, the uprisings that started ten
years ago in many countries of the Middle East and North Africa are still very much
alive. By adopting a comparative approach, this comprehensive volume investigates
the ongoing protests on three levels of analysis (local, national, regional) and through
seven case studies (Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Morocco, Sudan, and Tunisia). Particular
attention is also placed on the role of the European Union and its member
states in this historical transformation.
