The ‘’arab Spring’’: Any Appellation But Revolutions



Authors : Bencheikh Selma .

Abstract

This article aims at revisiting, with a view to rebutting, the widespread belief, especially in the West, that the 2010-11 outbursts of popular protests that shook the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region were revolutions. By examining these crises, named the ‘’Arab Spring’’, through an analytical lens, hence, it seeks to conclusively demonstrate their unrevolutionary nature. To this end, it inescapably draws on key criteria accumulated from the revised ‘Theory of Revolution’ to gauge the essence of the uprisings. The appraisal, precisely, focuses exclusively on Egypt and Tunisia, the only two countries where regime change materialized.

Keywords

Key words: theory of revolution, Arab Spring, Middle East and North Africa, Egypt, Tunisia.
