Initiated by the Cairo-based Economic Research Forum and edited by Ishac Diwan, this invaluable volume features contributions by Middle East academics across the world. They examine the reasons behind the uprisings, how democratic transitions transpire, the role of Arab capitalism in the crises, and how the experiences of other countries such as Indonesia, Turkey and Iran, can forecast where these uprisings may lead the Middle East in the years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Genesis of the Uprisings:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Political Economy of Arab Presidents for Life — and After \u003ci\u003e(Roger Owen)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstanding Revolution in the Middle East: The Central Role of the Middle Class \u003ci\u003e(Ishac Diwan)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Making of the Tunisian Revolution \u003ci\u003e(Fadhel Kaboub)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Transition to Democracy?:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn the Determinants of Democratic Transitions \u003ci\u003e(Caroline Freund and Melise Jaud)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIslamists in Power?
