Political Sociology of the Middle East Before and After the Arab Revolts

Political Sociology of the Middle East, which offers both basic information and a competent interpretation of the before and after Arab revolts, the division of the Arab regions within the borders of the Ottoman Empire after the First World War, the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, the USSR's invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. It reveals that phenomena such as the occupation of Iran and the Iranian Revolution, the regional wars that broke out between 1980 and 1990, and finally the "war on terror" that started after the September 11, 2001 attack, can create political dynamics even far from where they occurred.

The study, which examines the phenomenon of authoritarianism in the Middle East based on the concepts of hegemony and political engineering and shows that states are maintained by various forms of force, deals with past forms of political opposition and historical facts about minorities, while also drawing attention to a general social discouragement that runs parallel with new forms of resistance. Hamit Bozarslan, who examines the Arab world, which has witnessed a tremendous change, taking into account the unique conditions of the countries, draws the political portrait of the Middle East as of the end of 2011 with a special "Foreword" to the Turkish edition and helps us make sense of the complex changes.
