Synopsis
1. While there has been a surge in publications considering the implications of the Arab Spring on the region, this collection invites a more problematic and troubling consideration of the lure of authoritarianism which is sure to provoke vigorous and useful conversation in the field. 2. Stephen King is a well-regarded senior scholar in the field, and he has published two previous titles with IU Press which have been well received. Abdeslam Maghraoui is a mid-career academic who is core faculty in Duke University's very strong Islamic Studies Center and its Middle East Studies Center. 3. The collection adds to the list in its careful and nuanced study of what can at times be an over-simplified perspective on a key political and cultural issue in the field of Middle East and North African studies., The works collected in The Lure of Authoritarianism consider the normative appeal of authoritarianism in light of the 2011 popular uprisings in the Middle East. Despite what seemed to be a popular revolution in favor of more democratic politics, there has instead been a slide back toward authoritarian regimes that merely gesture toward notions of democracy. In the chaos that followed the Arab Spring, societies were lured by the prospect of strong leaders with firm guiding hands. The shift toward normalizing these regimes seems sudden, but the works collected in this volume document a gradual shift toward support for authoritarianism over democracy that stretches back decades in North Africa. Contributors consider the ideological, socioeconomic, and security-based justifications of authoritarianism as well as the surprising and vigorous reestablishment of authoritarianism in these regions. With careful attention to local variations and differences in political strategies, the volume provides a nuanced and sweeping consideration of the changes in the Middle East in the past and what they mean for the future.
