Egypt: A Fragile Power
Focusing on authoritarian rule, unresolved economic challenges, and external dependency, the volume explains the salient political and economic features of contemporary Egypt against the backdrop of its history since the beginning of the 19th century. Presenting a comprehensive account of developments, it challenges common assumptions about secularists, Islamists, and revolutionaries, as well as 'modernization', 'economic reform', and political s…
The Arab Uprisings: Transforming and Challenging State Power
The uprisings which spread across the Middle East and North Africa in late 2010 and 2011 irrevocably altered the way in which the region is now perceived. But in spite of the numerous similarities in these protests, from Tunisia and Egypt to Yemen and Bahrain, their broader political effects display important differences. This book analyses these popular uprisings, as well as other forms of protest, and the impact they had on each state. Why were…
Aires culturelles »: Travers et potentiels
Tout en exposant les failles de la production de savoirs par « aires culturelles », cette contribution met en relief les apports et le potentiel de travaux menés sous cette enseigne aux connotations bien plus culturalistes que celle des « area studies ». Si elle cache souvent une interdisciplinarité superficielle, elle permet néanmoins la définition de problématiques indépendantes des contraintes posées par les disciplines telles qu’elles sont ac…
Nouveaux régimes, vieilles politiques ? Réponses islamistes aux défis économiques et sociaux
According to an increasingly dominant narrative, the ‘Arab spring’ was primarily prompted by a combination of the long term structural decline of MENA economies and sudden external shocks, in particular the global financial crisis and the attendant increase in commodity prices. It should nevertheless be noted that the Islamist winners of the first “free” elections in Tunisia and Egypt advocate (d) economic and social policies that in many ways re…
Comprendre les enjeux économiques et sociaux des soulèvements arabes
Le « printemps arabe » serait prétendument le résultat de la dégradation des conditions de vie et, en particulier, de la crise économique de 2008. Or, pour comprendre les soulèvements de 2011, il faut se départir d’une approche économiciste et souligner au contraire les interactions entre économie et politique. De fait, ces mouvements relèvent d’une double crise : celle de l’État social autoritaire, d’une part, celle des régimes, d’autre part. Al…
Civil Society in the Middle East
Les « révolutions » arabes
Since late 2010 large-scale non-violent uprisings and their ripple effects have transformed the politics of the Arab countries to an extent not seen in decades. The autocratic rulers of Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya were pushed aside while most of their counterparts elsewhere continue to face various forms and degrees of contestation. However, serious challenges to these authoritarian regimes have not (yet) entailed their complete and definite demise…
Egypt without Mubarak, Tunisia after Bin Ali: Theory, history and the 'Arab Spring
Focusing on Egypt and Tunisia the present contribution first analyses the scope and limits of political change prompted by the large-scale protests that in early 2011 led to the resignation of the two veteran presidents Zin al-Abdin Bin Ali and Husni Mubarak. In a second step it examines some broader theoretical implications of popular contestation, government responses and processes of regime transformation in both countries. Events over the pas…
Les sciences sociales en voyage: L’Afrique du Nord et le Moyen-Orient vus d’Europe, d’Amérique et de l’intérieur
Le présent ouvrage explore ce qui arrive aux sciences humaines et sociales lorsqu'elles se déplacent ou se « dépaysent » et analyse la façon dont elles sont affectées et transformées en retour, aux plans méthodologique, théorique et conceptuel, par leur extension au-delà de l'aire géographique de leur naissance. Concrètement, il se propose d'examiner les mutations qu'elles subissent - ou dont elles profitent - dans deux cas de figure distincts ma…
Entre dangers et promesses: La reconstruction politique de l’Irak
Sur la base d’une analyse des choix initiaux et des décisions prises par les coalisés pour la reconstruction politique de l’Irak, il s’agira d’examiner les attentes des différents acteurs et leurs relations réciproques avant d’évaluer leur impact sur l’avenir du pays. Si à terme, l’avènement d’un régime démocratique n’est pas exclu, un tel dénouement ne sera pas facile à négocier ni le seul possible
Analyzing "Arab" politics: Students of politics in foreign lands
This article suggests that in spite of numerous excellent contributions and promising new developments, the work of European and American students of politics on the southern and eastern areas of the Mediterranean (in particular, the Arab World) continues to exhibit various worrying weaknesses. The shortcomings in question do not necessarily represent a distinctive characteristic of existing scholarship on this part of the world. The aim of this …
Destablization through partnership? Euro‐Mediterranean relations after the Barcelona declaration
The new ‘partnership’ which the European Union offers its neighbours on the southern shores of the Mediterranean may well have more negative than positive consequences for the prosperity and stability of the countries concerned. Contrary to the expectations of their advocates, policies of internal and external economic liberalization are not likely to increase the economic performance of the southern Mediterranean countries. In terms of productiv…

De la langue et en deçà: Nationalismes arabes à géométrie variable
Depuis que les mouvements islamistes monopolisent l'intérêt, l'étude des phénomènes nationalistes dans le monde arabe n'a plus guère droit de cité dans les sciences sociales. Conséquence ou non de cette mutation, les pays arabes semblent à l'abri du regain des fièvres nationalistes qui surgissent un peu partout dans le monde depuis la fin de la guerre froide. Si l'on voit advenir un « nouvel âge du nationalisme », la « délaïcisation » du politiqu…
Arab Unity Schemes Revisited: Interest, Identity, and Policy in Syria and Egypt
From the day in April 1946 when the last French soldiers left and Syrians were finally able to run their own affairs, their policies toward other Arabs have differed significantly, although decreasingly over the years, from the policies pursued by Egyptians. Within their country, Syrian legislators used to privilege Arab over non-Arab foreigners in various respects, including the investment of capital as well as the acquisition of citizenship and…
