| Summary: | What Beyond the contradictory debates held in social science circles on the future of protest movements in North Africa, researchers tend to err on the same point: they focus on the short-term ( protest cycle, repression, standardization), whereas the movements they analyze are specifically part of a long-term process, in which current upheavals are only one episode. The purpose of this study is to show that the ongoing collapse of authoritarian regimes did not start with the 2010-2011 Arab Spring. Previous social protests in the 2000s were probably early signs of possible substantial changes across the Maghreb and the Arab world. Subsequently the process of political transformation in Maghreb and Mashreq societies will not be limited to revolutionary events. Beyond the actual visible weakening of the men in power, the central issue in revolutionary processes remains the legitimacy and symbolic effectiveness of systems: why don’t identical circumstances lead to changes in regimes everywhere? |
