Overview

In Undesired Revolution, Ahmed Abozaid introduces new, non-Western perspectives on the Arab Uprisings, that are essential to the effort to decenter and decolonize International Relations and Middle Eastern Studies. Drawing on over 10 years of fieldwork, ethnography, over 250 interviews, and empirical research, this is one of the first books to critically evaluate the position of International Relations theorists toward the study of the Arab Uprisings, and does so by examining local IR scholarship from the region-material which is rarely considered. Undesired Revolution provides an invaluable account of why democratic revolutions have failed, and how counterrevolutions and authoritarianism have been fortified, and makes the case that it's only a matter of time before revolutions are once again resurgent in this part of the world.
