The great betrayal: The struggle for freedom and democracy in the Middle East
Foreign aid of Gulf States: Continuity and change
This volume focuses on two primary objectives: to understand the transformations in Gulf States’ foreign aid (GSFA) following 9/11 and the 2011 Arab Uprisings, and to analyse the enduring traits, evolving characteristics, allocation and motivations behind GSFA. The volume delves into how the Gulf States–Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait and Qatar–have shifted from a solidarity-based aid model to one strategically aligned with political and military inter…
Morocco's domestic crisis of (derailed) democratisation
In the North African context, Morocco is a clear example of democratic backsliding.

This article argues that the new EU’s selective engagement with Islamist parties in its Southern neighbourhood following the Arab uprisings is the result of a partial shift in the EU’s frame used to understand political Islam, combined with a form of pragmatism that puts a premium on finding interlocutors in the region. Using the case studies of Tunisia and Egypt, it shows that the EU has replaced its previous monolithic conception of political I…
