Routledge Political and Institutional Transition in North Africa

Understand the transformative events that reshaped the Middle East starting in 2011. This academic work examines the political and institutional changes in North Africa, specifically looking at Egypt and Tunisia through a comparative lens. Following the popular unrest that led to the fall of the Ben Ali, Mubarak, and Qaddafi regimes, the region experienced a fundamental shift in its social, economic, and political landscape. This book serves as a detailed assessment of the transition processes triggered by the 2011 uprisings. By treating the wave of popular mobilization as a starting point, the text analyzes how these movements altered the trajectory of the region. It is an essential resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the history of Middle Eastern democratization and the evolving government structures in Tunisia and Egypt.
