REVISITING THE ARAB UPRISINGS COMPARATIVE POLITICS AND INTERNATIONAL STUDIES SERIES Series editors, Christophe Jaffrelot and Alain Dieckhoff Series managing editor, Miriam Perier The series consists of original manuscripts and translations of noteworthy manuscripts and publications in the social sciences emanating from the fore- most French researchers. The focus of the series is the transformation of politics and society by transna- tional and domestic factors—globalisation, migration and religion. States are more permeable to external influence than ever before and this phenomenon is accelerating processes of social and political change the world over. In seek- ing to understand and interpret these transformations, this series gives priority to social trends from below as much as to the interventions of state and non- state actors.
