This book offers a much-needed corrective to dominant approaches to
understanding political causality during episodes of intense social
mobilisation in North Africa.Drawing on analyses of routine governance
and of 'revolutionary' mobilisation in four countries of the Maghreb -
Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya - before, during and after the
2011 uprisings, Volpi explains the different trajectories of these
uprisings by showing how specific acts of protest created new arenas
of contention that provided actors with new rationales, practices and,
ultimately, identities.The book illustrates how the dynamics of
revolutionary episodes are characterised by the social and political
de-institutionalisation of routine mechanisms of (authoritarian)
governance. It also details how post-uprising re-institutionalisation
and/or conflict are shaped by reconstructed understandings of the
uprisings by actors, who are themselves partially the products of
these episodes of phenomena.
