The Arab Uprisings challenged sovereign power across the Middle East, leading to the toppling of authoritarian rule in Tunisia, Egypt, and Yemen. This book explores why some regimes fell while others survived, drawing on the work of political theorists to show how elites seek to maintain power and wealth at any cost. It is essential reading for understanding the uprisings, their geopolitical consequences, and why they are likely to happen again.

The Arab Uprisings posed a significant existential threat to sovereign power across the Middle East. While popular movements led to the overthrow of authoritarian regimes in Tunisia, Egypt, and Yemen, other governments were able to withstand these pressures. This book explores why some regimes collapsed while others survived. Drawing on the work of political theorists such as Agamben and Arendt, Mabon examines how sovereign power is contested, leading to the fragmentation of political projects across the region. Combining an innovative theoretical approach with interviews with individuals from across the region and beyond, Mabon paints a vivid picture of Middle Eastern politics dominated by elites seeking to maintain power and wealth, seemingly at any cost. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the origins, geopolitical implications, and potential recurrence of the uprisings.
