The unleashing of discontent throughout the Middle East and North Africa region over recent years has led to the instigation of reform, fuelled civil strife, and led to the overthrow of unpopular autocrats. In this maelstrom of disorder, it has become clear that societies in the region have refused to continue on the path of authoritarianism and have displayed a desire to transform their political, social and economic destinies. In particular, populations of this region have sought to challenge entrenched power structures, redress historical grievances, and reshape their relationship with the state. Popular uprisings that have swept through the region have been transformative, generating exciting new research that challenges conventional assumptions about governance, social placidity, and the role of traditionally marginalised groups. Where revolutionary pressures have been absent, slower but equally notable change has still occurred. The Contemporary Middle East: Revolution or Reform? debunks mainstream misconceptions about revolutionary change in the Middle East and North Africa, questioning common approaches used to interpret change in the Arab, Persian and Turkish worlds, and providing an array of perspectives to highlight how diverse conclusions can be drawn from the same events.
