Une troisième voie au Moyen-Orient

Gilbert Achcar analyses the global geopolitical reconfiguration marked by a neo-fascist convergence between the United States, Putin’s Russia and the global far right, redefining a “new Cold War”. In this context, in the Middle East, states are playing on international rivalries, while popular movements have to rely on themselves to make progress. Achcar insists on the idea of a long-term revolutionary process that began in the Middle East and North Africa in 2011, punctuated by crises and counter-revolutions. Despite setbacks and repression, progressive forces are emerging, notably in Sudan, in Turkey through the Kurdis Kurdish People’s Democratic Party, and in Iran through the “Women, Life, Freedom” movement. However, ethnic and ideological divisions are limiting regional revolutionary contagion. Achcar calls for an internationalism based on democracy and solidarity between peoples, rejecting both classic campism and blind anti-Western neo-campism
