Contributions combine fresh theoretical analysis with rich case study information on actors, movements, communities, and dynamics that are often ignored in our understanding of this region. With an emphasis on voices from the Arab world, the contributions in this volume span a wide range of disciplinary approaches and address the following areas: strategies and practices of authoritarianism, international and transnational trends, the political economy of authoritarianism, identity, ideology, and resistance. Addressing these issues not only illuminates the persistence of authoritarianism in the region, but also what Arab authoritarianism teaches us about world politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
