Colloque en partanariat avec l'Institut Français du Proche-Orient - IFPO
In line with Critique internationale's special issue "The Political Economy of the Arab Uprisings", the participants in this conference will analyze the socio-economic underpinnings of recent contestation and post-contestation politics in the various Arabic speaking countries. Delineating categories of actors, pressure groups, and more generally constituencies that under authoritarian rule and allocation patterns took to the streets will help to identify forces that opted for political change and others that opted for continuity.
