Project description

This projects wants to understand the dynamics of the current Arab revolutions in Egypt and Tunisia and the gradual transition in Morocco. This project regards the formation of nodes of political agency and practice outside the institutional interfaces and endogenous coalitions traditionally associated with “the Arab regime” based on a comparative-historical framework of analysis.
