Items related to Inevitable Democracy in the Arab World: New Realities...
The stakes have never been higher in a region at the center of the world's attention. What is behind the Arab Spring and what is likely to be the outcome? In this comprehensive, multidisciplinary, and thought-provoking book, Wissam S. Yafi argues that there are four dynamics leading to inevitable change in the Arab region: geopolitical, geoeconomic, geosocial, and technological. The incumbent autocratic regimes are unable to counter these forces and change has become inevitable - but what are the alternatives? Yafi considers anarchy, neo-dictatorship, theocracy, liberalized autocracy, and democracy. Logically and carefully analyzing each, Yafi comes to the conclusion that no system will be able to support the dynamics in place except for democracy, which will alter the current, failed social contract to one that supports self-determination and self-sufficiency.

Review:
"Wissam Yafi is one of the emerging young leaders of the new Middle East on whom the region's destiny rests. This ambitious book ranges over the economic, social, political, and technological determinants of the fortunes of the region and charts a democratic course for its future." - Dani Rodrik, Rafiq Hariri Professor of International Political Economy, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University
"In this engaging and original analysis, Wissam S. Yafi outlines the socio-economic, political, and religious dynamics in the Arab region from a perspective under which systemic change seems anything but unexpected. Shedding new light upon the interaction between tradition and modernization in the Arab world, he provides a convincing account of why democratic self-determination ought to be the only viable outcome. Sincerely written, bold and insightful, this book reflects the authenticity of someone who grew up on both sides of the Arab-American cultural boundary." - Theodoros M. Diasakos, Collegio Carlo Alberto
