Dez anos depois
A autoimolação do vendedor de rua tunisiano Mohammed Bouazizi em 17 de dezembro de 2010 levou a uma onda de protestos no mundo árabe. Agora, o pessimismo reina por toda parte. Guerras (civis), repressão e desemprego crescente assolam a região como nunca antes. A “dupla crise” do mercado petrolífero em colapso e da COVID-19 aprofundou ainda mais os problemas existentes. A Primavera Árabe estava fadada ao fracasso? Por qual lente devemos olhar para…
The perils of the transfer of power in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
The Saudi leadership feels threatened, first of all by Shi’ite Iran, but also by the extremist Islamic State (IS), the Muslim Brotherhood and even liberal intellectuals. Low oil prices cause growing deficits, while youth unemployment remains huge. Is the House of Saud on the verge of collapse? This paper first addresses the recent succession, as a result of which new King Salman’s young son, Muhammad bin Salman, accumulated unparalleled power. It…

Tensions between its regional and global roles intertwine with the dilemmas it faces at home, hence analysis of domestic issues is framed with reference to the post- 9/11 world , globalisation and the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Am…

The Middle East
In terms of regionalisation the Middle East appears to exemplify the region's status of being the 'exceptional' case, eternally out of step with history and immune to the trends affecting other parts of the world. This article will analyse whether recent trends of economic liberalisation might give an impulse to regionalisation. This is done by focusing on the 'double assignment' of the bourgeoisie: curbing state autonomy and acting as the 'champ…

Les limites du « tribalisme politique »
Democracy, oil and the gulf war
The Gulf War has spawned both certainties and uncertainties. The political status quo in the major oil-exporting countries of the Persian/Arab Gulf area having been frozen, Western access to Arab oil is safeguarded for some years to come. This freeze did not just fortify political and economic structures of control, but also military ones. A more long-tern future, however, holds some uncertainties which, paradoxically, derive logically from that …
