A concise guide on how and why the Arab Spring failed, this book presents a detailed narrative of events in the Arab World, from the moment Mohammed Bouazizi lit himself – and the region – on fire. It presents an original investigation into why the Arab Spring cannot be seen as a wave of democratization, due to the contribution of intolerant Islamist actors in its failure, through their application of a distinctive conception of “the good” inconsistent with liberal democracy.

Khalifa A. Alfadhel is an Assistant Professor of International Law at the University of Bahrain, and is a Board Member of the Bahrain Institute for Political Development. He holds an LLB from the University of Bahrain, and an LLM and PhD in international law from the University of Leeds, UK. He is a recognized Bahraini human rights defender, focused on the right to democracy in international law and its application in the Arab World and developing countries.
