Couverture de l’ouvrage The Future of the Arab Spring

Civic entrepreneurship lies at the heart of the Arab Spring. From the iconic image of an occupied Tahrir Square to scenes of dancing protesters in Syria and politically conscious hip hop in Tunisia, people across the Middle East and North Africa continue to collaborate and experiment their way out of years of dictatorship and political stagnation. The Future of the Arab Spring examines the spirit of civic entrepreneurship that brought once untouchable dictators to their knees and continues to shape the region's political, artistic, and technology sectors. Through interviews with some of the region's leading civic entrepreneurs, including political activists, artists, and technologists, Maryam Jamshidi broadens popular understandings of recent events in this misunderstood region of the world.

Introduction: Civic Entrepreneurship and the Grassroots SpringChapter 1 – A Short History of the Arab World and the Arab SpringChapter 2 – Revolution, Ideology, and DemocracyChapter 3 – Civic Entrepreneurship in Politics and SocietyChapter 4 – Civic Entrepreneurship in Art and CultureChapter 5 – Civic Entrepreneurship in Technology StartupsConclusion: Will Spring Be Eternal?
