Laremont Ricardo. Revolution, Revolt and Reform in North Africa: The Arab Spring and Beyond

Routledge, 2013. — 192 p.Whilst the longer term outcomes of the Arab Spring revolts are not entirely clear, the revolutionary or reform processes in North Africa are further along than the events taking place in Levant or the Arabian Peninsula, elections having now been held in the post-revolutionary/ post-revolt states. Understanding and examining North African events has become critical as the countries in question are part of "Mare Nostrum"; events in North Africa inevitably have effects in Europe. Using examples from Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Algeria, "Revolution, Revolt and Reform in North Africa" provides an insider scholar s account of these recent revolutions or reform movements.
