Recension (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this book, Jason Brownlee, Tarek Masoud, and Andrew Reynolds address both why some uprisings result in overthrows and where democratization can be expected to take hold post-breakdown. In the introductory chapter, the authors insist that the results of the Arab Spring must be explicable by less proximate causes, such as historical legacies and entrenched structural characteristics of the cases included in their study. This approach goes beyond reductionist explanations based on specific acts just prior to the uprisings, attempting instead to offer a broader theory of democratic transition and consolidation.

Book Review - The Kurds of Northern Syria: Governance, Diversity and Conflicts
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Global Policy. - 1758-5880 .- 1758-5899.
-
Recension (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The Kurds of Northern Syria is one of the latest additions to the fast-growing literature on the Kurds, and in particular on the Kurds in Syria. The purpose of the book is to describe the evolution of Kurdish politics in Northern Syria, the various political parties and blocs fighting for power and legitimacy, and the changes in identity and political representation as experienced or perceived by Kurds living in a state of uncertainty amidst war and contested autonomy. The authors have produced a well-written, structured and meticulous book that refreshingly helps to fill the knowledge gap on the Syrian Kurds since the 2011 Syrian upheaval.
