Arab Spring, Its Aftermath, and James Davies' Inverted J-Curve
Perceptions of Russia's 'return' to Africa: Views from West Africa
The article focuses on the perception of Russia’s ‘return’ to Africa through an analysis of field research data from three African states: Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso, gathered in late 2021. In this article, the authors argue that the Russian ‘return’ to Africa, which is primarily seen in the provision of security services through the presence of Russian private military companies (PMCs), is perceived positively in West Africa. An important role…
GDP Per Capita and Protest Activity: A Quantitative Reanalysis
Our research suggests that the relation between GDP per capita and sociopolitical destabilization is not characterized by a straightforward negative correlation; it rather has an inverted U-shape. The highest risks are typical for the countries with intermediate values of GDP per capita, not the highest or lowest values. Thus, until a certain value of GDP per capita is reached, economic growth predicts an increase in the risks of sociopolitical d…
Internet Censorship in Arab Countries: Religious and Moral Aspects
Internet censorship remains one of the most common methods of state control over the media. Reasons for filtering cyberspace include ensuring the security of the current regime, attempts to limit all kinds of opposition movements, and the protection of the religious and moral norms of society. In Arab countries, where religion plays a major role in the sociopolitical sphere, the latter is particularly important. Since, in Islamic law, there is no…
From Fitnah to Thaura: The Metamorphosis of the Arab-Muslim Protest Movements
Since 2011, the Arab world has entered a period of political turbulence accompanied by widespread growth of protest activity. The events that were metaphorically called the "Arab Spring" referring to the "Spring of Nations" of 1848, affected virtually all countries of the Middle East and North Africa. In Libya, Syria, and Yemen, antigovernment demonstrations led to almost complete destruction of statehood raising the question of the existence of …
Egyptian coup of 2013: An 'Econometric' Analysis
The article is devoted to an 'econometric' analysis of the events in Egypt that happened in summer 2013. The analysis of the Egyptian Stock Exchange indices suggests that the 2013 Egyptian coup d'état was prepared to a very considerable extent by the reconciliation between the Egyptian economic and military elites. It also suggests some additional hints regarding the split between the Arabian monarchies (Qatar, on the one hand, and Saudi Arabia, …
Fitnah: The Afterlife of a Religious Term in Recent Political Protest
The phenomenon of fitnah could be traced throughout history in different regions and cultures. The Arab spring events of 2011-2012 are not an exception in this context. The next outburst of protest activity occurred where it was not expected in the near future-in Ukraine. If we compare the events in the Arab countries in 2011 and Ukraine in 2013-2014, it can be concluded that in essence they fit the characteristics of fitnah very well, which are …
