Democracy and recognition  of human rights and fundamental freedoms seem to be the main drives of the  people organized in form of civil groups or grassroots movements in the Arab  Spring countries; but it is essential to identify when they find it suitable  to take such extreme action as taking the streets in an attempt to take down  the repressive regimes. It is also important to investigate what methods they  relied on in their action and how they challenged the state and the  government. A review of the cases in this volume shows that civil society has  certain limitations in its action. Analysis of the cases also challenges a  commonly held assumption that the Arab world does not have strong and rich  civil society tradition. However, for a lasting success and consolidation of  democracy, something more than civil society action is obviouslyneeded. A  strong organized opposition and a democratic culture seems to be indispensable  elements for the evolution of a democratic order and tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-12-09\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137571762\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-57177-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 257\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752493019276,"sku":"9781137571762","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137571762.jpg?v=1776697270","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137571762","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
