While the Arab uprisings have overturned the idea of Arab 'exceptionalism', or the acceptance of authoritarianism, better analysis of authoritarianism's resilience in pre- and post-uprising scenarios is still needed. This book undertakes this task by addressing not only the mechanisms that allowed Middle Eastern regimes to survive and adapt for decades, but also the obstacles that certain countries face in their current transition to democracy. This volumes analyzes the role of ruling elites, Islamists, and others, as well as variables such as bureaucracy, patronage, the strength of security apparatuses, and ideological legitimacy to ascertain regimes' life expectancies and these factors' post-uprisings repercussions. Discussing not only the paradigms through which the region has been analyzed, but also providing in-depth case studies of Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Iran, the authors arrive at critical conclusions about dictatorship and possibilities for its transformation.

A travers divers exemples oubliés de la critique postcoloniale, cet ouvrage exploire la notion des marges, aussi bien géographiques qu'épistémologiques, dans le contexte de l'orientalisme dénoncé par Esward Saïd. Mettant en parallèle le cas anglo-indien, souvent présenté comme un "orientalisme classique" et le cas russo-soviétique, à la fois objet de l'orientalisme occidental et producteur d'un discours "orientaliste", il s'agit de décentrer le regard des espaces impériaux franco-britanniques vers des comparaisons moins traditionnelles. Dépassant le modèle binaire "colonisateur-colonisé", cette approche analyse le mécanisme de la constitution des savoirs (arts, langues, littératures, religion, etc.) et leurs transferts en situation coloniale, ainsi que les appropriations locales et les (ré)inventions de traditions hybrides. Le jeu des regards croisés permet de traduire toute l'ambiguïté des situations qui se sont succédé pendant et après les périodes de domination impériale dans le triangle constitué par l'Inde, la Russie et l'Europe.
