Amid empire states: protest movements in the transforming Middle East/Fatemeh Sadeghi. 9. Ruminations on the characteristics and consequences of political protests in the Arab World/Ranjit Gupta The twenty-first century has witnessed disaffection and protest across Eurasia and West Asia, triggering debates questioning the state of governance as well as looking at a redefinition of the 'arc of crisis.' By and large, there have been two major viewpoints, one which emphasises the aspect of 'failed states' and the other that focuses on technology as the prime instigator and motivator for the protests. Even as the Arab Uprisings are commonly acknowledged as an upshot of a succession of protests as well as the "colour revolutions" across Eurasia and West Asia, the after effects have been incessant with the Maidan in Ukraine and intermittent protests in Turkey. The causative factors have been as diverse as climate change and its adverse impact, economic inequalities fed by a process of globalisation which caters to certain sections of society, social grievances of marginalised sections who feel politically, socially or culturally deprived and a general failure to address critical issues in an apt way. While the nature of the protests has been as varied as the reaction of authorities to the protest, there has been a tendency to review the replication of the protests across states in the region. The world today is increasingly observing and partaking in local and global acts of protest and solidarity that entail visual, aural, and behavioural articulations by demonstrators as effective ways of making claims, reclaiming spaces, and condemning invasive situations. The volume analyses relations between the state and such protests by exploring the construction of protest movements, and probing the background, nature and specificity of dissent. Protest movements and counter-movements have been examined and analysed. The purpose is to understand and interpret the moments and episodes associated with movements, capturing, disseminating and transmuting the images and symbols of protest. Chapters in the volume enquire about and debate on whether contemporary protesters are consolidating upon and intensifying prior repertoires of dissent.…

Since Soviet disintegration there have been varied perceptions about Eurasias transition Initially attention was focused on the changes that became obvious in politics and society and peoples orientation towards change Gradually there was a re-appraisal of the transformation that occurred and attempts were made to identify the genesis of change in the Soviet era Post-Soviet thinking metamorphosed into a realistic appraisal of the continuities rather than the discontinuities of the two periods It is this duality of transition that has been focused upon in the book Communities Institutions and Transition in post-1991 Eurasia The contributions in the volume convey the central theme that transition in Eurasia is a continuing and expanding discourse about space and identity 494 pp.…
