"Die jüngsten Ereignisse im Nahen Osten und in Nordafrika haben sogar versierte Beobachter überrascht. Eigentlich galt die Region als ein Hort stabiler Diktaturen.

"Die jüngsten Ereignisse im Nahen Osten und in Nordafrika haben sogar versierte Beobachter überrascht. Eigentlich galt die Region als ein Hort stabiler Diktaturen. Doch innerhalb von Wochen gelang es den Bürgern, zwei Diktatoren aus dem Amt zu jagen; andere Autokraten könnten bald folgen. Der konstante Niedergang der politischen und wirtschaftlichen Machtbasis der autokratischen Regime in Verbindung mit der Erhebung einer mit Web-2.0 vertrauten Jugendbewegung hat letztendlich eine überraschende Möglichkeit für weitreichende Reformen ermöglicht. Ob diese Chance ergriffen wird, bleibt abzuwarten." (Autorenreferat)... view less

"Recent events in the Middle East and North Africa have surprised even adept observers. The region was presumably a harbor of stable dictatorships. Yet within weeks, citizens forced two dictators from power and other autocrats might soon follow. The steady decline of the autocratic regimes' political and economic power base, in conjunction with the rise of a Web 2.0-experienced youth movement, has ultimately opened an unexpected window of opportunity for far-reaching reforms. Whether this opportunity will be seized upon remains to be seen." (author's abstract)... view less
