Review: The Arab Spring: Pathways of and Reform

• 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.
