Deconstructing Despotic Legacies in the Arab Spring

Content Provider	Scilit
Copyright Year	2014
Description	Arab history and culture are rich in anti-despotism sentiment and rhetoric, perhaps to the point of nuanced sophistication, while, simultaneously, poor in democratic practice and understanding. One overarching powerful theme linking all the uprisings of the Arab Spring is a widespread, deep-rooted anger at barren, despotic regimes, which uniﬁed radically diﬀerent socio-political movements and sectors of society to overthrow them. Yet, there is a wide gap between the healthy, strong anti-despotism that unleashed and sustained the Arab Spring uprisings and the uncertain and, indeed, hesitant democratic drive that those uprisings have made possible. In order to realize the commonly celebrated democratic aspirations, Arab Spring countries will need more than democratic political arrangements at the institutional level, but a gradual dismantling of the still strong cultural despotism that has long sustained political despotism.
