Politics and Governance in the Middle East

By: Vincent Durac,Francesco Cavatorta

This textbook offers a systematic and up-to-date introduction to politics and society in the Middle East. Taking a thematic approach that engages with core theory as well as a wide range of research, it examines postcolonial political, social and economic developments in the region, while also scrutinising the domestic and international factors that have played a central role in these developments. Topics covered include the role of religion in political life, gender and politics, the Israel-Palestine conflict, civil war in Syria, the ongoing threat posed by Islamist groups such as Islamic State as well as the effects of increasing globalisation across the MENA. Following the ongoing legacy of the Arab Spring, it pays particular attention to the tension between processes of democratization and the persistence of authoritarian rule in the region. This new edition offers: - Coverage of the latest developments, with expanded coverage of the military and security apparatus, regional conflict and the Arab uprisings - Textboxes linking key themes to specific historical events, figures and concepts - Comparative spotlight features focusing on the politics and governance of individual countries. This is an ideal resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students approaching Middle Eastern politics for the first time.

The Arab Uprisings in Egypt, Jordan and Tunisia

Social, Political and Economic Transformations

By: Andrea Teti,Pamela Abbott,Francesco Cavatorta

The Arab Uprisings were unexpected events of rare intensity in Middle Eastern history – mass, popular and largely non-violent revolts which threatened and in some cases toppled apparently stable autocracies. This volume provides in-depth analyses of how people perceived the socio-economic and political transformations in three case studies epitomising different post-Uprising trajectories – Tunisia, Jordan and Egypt – and drawing on survey data to explore ordinary citizens’ perceptions of politics, security, the economy, gender, corruption, and trust. The findings suggest the causes of protest in 2010-2011 were not just political marginalisation and regime repression, but also denial of socio-economic rights and regimes failure to provide social justice. Data also shows these issues remain unresolved, and that populations have little confidence governments will deliver, leaving post-Uprisings regimes neither strong nor stable, but fierce and brittle. This analysis has direct implications both for policy and for scholarship on transformations, democratization, authoritarian resilience and ‘hybrid regimes’.

The international dimension of the failed Algerian transition

Democracy betrayed?

By: Francesco Cavatorta

The book builds an innovative theoretical framework, through which previously neglected international factors are brought into the analysis of transitions to democracy. The case of Algeria is then explored in great detail. This volume is an important contribution to the literature on democratization and provides an interesting analysis of Algerian politics during the last two decades. More specifically, the book examines how international variables influence the behaviour and activities of Algerian political actors. By bridging the comparative politics and international relations literatures, the book offers a new understanding of the initiation, development and outcome of transitions to democracy. International factors, far from being marginal and secondary, are treated as central explanatory variables. Such external factors were crucial in the Algerian failed transition to democracy, when the attitudes and actions of key international actors shaped the domestic game and its final outcome. In particular, the book explores the controversial role of the Islamic Salvation Front and how its part was perceived abroad. In addition the book argues that international factors significantly contribute to explaining the persistence of authoritarian rule in Algeria, to its integration into the global economy and its co-optation into the war on terror. This book will be useful for scholars and students of processes of democratisation, for Middle East and North Africa specialists and for general readers interested in the role of international actors across the Arab world.

Pope Francis on the Jubilee of mercy

By: Francesco Primerano

The humility, loyalty, goodness, joy of life, tolerance, some are moral wealth of Pope Francis. Indeed without the importance of these values would not exist this our friend, the same friend that changed decisively and sincere habits of our dull existence. You can define a genuine Pope saying real things: words of truth and humility are his strength. Despite its simplicity, he decides about everything that could go on in the church and surroundings. For these and other reasons the essential December 8, 2015 began a year of mercy, which will conclude at the end of 2016: an unprecedented jubilee in which Francis puts his will, his strength, his tenacity and a lot of planning. A Jubilee that takes place not only in the basilicas of Rome, but also in every diocese in the world and in all places of pain. L'umiltà, la lealtà, la bontà, la gioia di vivere, la tolleranza, risultano alcune ricchezze morali di Papa Francesco. Effettivamente senza l'importanza di questi valori non esisterebbe questo nostro amico, lo stesso amico che ha cambiato in maniera decisa e sincera le abitudini della nostra noiosa esistenza. Si può definire un Papa autentico che dice cose reali: parole di verità e di umiltà sono la sua forza. Pur nella sua semplicità, decide su tutto ciò che potrebbe andare avanti nella chiesa e dintorni. Per questi ed altri essenziali motivi l'8 dicembre 2015 ha avuto inizio un anno di misericordia che si concluderà a fine 2016: un giubileo senza precedenti in cui Francesco ci mette la sua volontà, la sua forza, la sua tenacia e molta progettualità. Un Giubileo che si svolge non soltanto nelle basiliche di Roma, ma anche in tutte le diocesi del mondo e in tutti i luoghi del dolore.

Around the world in 80 days with Pope Francis

By: Francesco Primerano

Around the World in 80 Days with Pope Francis you could be summed up in a series of apostolic journeys and pastoral visits that he has addressed with great passion and devotion during the two and a half years of his pontificate. These paths are called Apostolic because the Pope is the successor of the Apostle Peter and are considered travel courtesy diplomatic heads of state or local representatives of the host State. The Pope seeks to spread joy and love messages traveling between different locations around the world and meeting all the human race. With this manual you want to review again the apostolic journeys of our dear Pope during his 21⁄2 years of pontificate: from Rio De Janeiro to the Holy Land, from the island of Lampedusa in Assisi, from South Korea to the Philippines, from Naples in Turin, from Sarajevo to South America, from Cuba to the United States. Basically we try to celebrate his world tour in 80 days, trying to spread the messages of peace, love and freedom among the fundamental stages of the human being. Il giro del mondo in 80 giorni con Papa Francesco si potrebbe riassumere in una serie di viaggi apostolici e di visite pastorali che lui stesso ha affrontato con grande passione e tanta devozione nel corso dei due anni e mezzo del suo pontificato. Questi percorsi vengono chiamati Apostolici in quanto il Papa è il successore dell'apostolo Pietro e sono da considerarsi viaggi di cortesia diplomatici tra capi di Stato o rappresentanze locali dello Stato ospitante. Il Papa cerca di diffondere gioia e messaggi d'amore, viaggiando tra le diverse località del mondo e incontrando ogni razza umana. Con questo manuale si vogliono ripercorrere i vari viaggi apostolici del nostro caro Papa nel corso dei suoi 2 anni e mezzo di Pontificato: da Rio De Janeiro alla Terra Santa, dall'Isola di Lampedusa ad Assisi, dalla Corea del Sud alle Filippine, da Napoli a Torino, da Sarajevo al Sud America, da Cuba agli Stati Uniti. In sostanza si cerca di celebrare il suo giro del mondo in 80 giorni, cercando di diffondere i suoi messaggi di pace, amore e libertà tra le tappe fondamentali dell'essere umano.

Ave Maria

By: Papa Francesco,

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Ave Maria

By: Papa Francesco,

Ave, Maria, piena di grazia": così comincia la preghiera che ci viene insegnata fin da bambini e che, soprattutto nelle difficoltà, riaffiora sulle labbra e nei cuori. "Dio saluta una donna, la saluta con una verità grande: 'Io ti ho fatto piena del mio amore, piena di me, e così come sarai piena di me sarai piena del mio Figlio e poi di tutti i figli della Chiesa'. Ma la grazia non finisce lì: la bellezza della Madonna è una bellezza che dà frutto, una bellezza madre." In questo nuovo libro, Papa Francesco affronta il mistero di Maria percorrendo verso per verso l'Ave Maria in un dialogo vivo e fertile con don Marco Pozza, teologo e cappellano del carcere di Padova. La Madonna "è la normalità, è una donna che qualsiasi donna di questo mondo può dire di poter imitare": "lavorava, faceva la spesa, aiutava il Figlio, aiutava il marito". Eppure, questa creatura "normale" diventa lo strumento di una nuova creazione, di un nuovo patto: "all'inizio la ri-creazione è il dialogo tra Dio e una donna sola". Ed è sulla donna e il suo ruolo che s'impernia la riflessione del Papa: "La Chiesa è donna, la Chiesa non è maschio, non è 'il' Chiesa. Noi chierici siamo maschi, ma noi non siamo la Chiesa". Nella seconda parte del volume, l'Ave Maria entra in carcere, segno e mezzo di conversione e consolazione.
