"Volpi is clear to make a distinction between protest and revolution. Rather than emphasize any particular combination of long- and short-term causal factors to explain the origins of revolt and rebellion, Volpi instead draws attention to the importance of specific events in the moment and especially the response of institutional and political elites in determining whether stasis or change would prevail... Volpi provides a nuanced understanding of protest and revolution. His conclusions intended for political scientists and students of international relations should have applications far beyond the Middle East and North Africa. For their part historians of the Maghreb will benefit from Volpi's thick description of events." -- Jonathan G. Katz, Oregon State University
This book offers a much-needed corrective to dominant approaches to understanding political causality during episodes of intense social mobilisation in North Africa.
Drawing on analyses of routine governance and of 'revolutionary' mobilisation in four countries of the Maghreb - Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya - before, during and after the 2011 uprisings, Volpi explains the different trajectories of these uprisings by showing how specific acts of protest created new arenas of contention that provided actors with new rationales, practices and, ultimately, identities.
The book illustrates how the dynamics of revolutionary episodes are characterised by the social and political de-institutionalisation of routine mechanisms of (authoritarian) governance. It also details how post-uprising re-institutionalisation and/or conflict are shaped by reconstructed understandings of the uprisings by actors, who are themselves partially the products of these episodes of phenomena.
