| spelling | Prerequisites for a peaceful transition. (c2013)Lessons from the Arab Spring.Fayad, Khalil IbrahimArab Spring, 2010-Civil society -- Arab countriesDemocracy -- Arab countriesDemocracy -- Arab countriesArab countries -- Politics and government -- 21st centuryIncludes bibliographical references (leaves 80-85).The Arab Spring brought optimism about the prospect of democratization in the region. However, transition toward democracy was often violent, prompting concerns about the price of freedom. While Egypt and Tunisia underwent smooth and relatively peaceful transition in ousting autocratic regimes, both Libya and Syria were devastated by violent confrontations. This thesis examines four claimed prerequisites for peaceful transitions: the existence of civil society, degree of economic disparity, military loyalty to the regime, and the utilization of social media. A comparative country analysis is conducted to compare the various propositions in Bahrain, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Tunisia, and Yemen. An index table of peaceful transitions is developed. The thesis revels that among the decisive factors contributing to violent or peaceful transition lies in the Military’s loyalty to the regime. Yet, the strength of civil society and the spread-out of economic grievances are significant aspects that cab neutralize the regime’s coercive apparatuses.1 bound copy: xiii, 85 leaves; 31 cm.
