      abstract = {This book examines the projects of administrative and  territorial reconstruction of Arab countries as an  aftermath of the Arab Spring. Additionally, it looks into  an active rethinking of the former unitary model, linked by  its critics with dictatorship and oppression. The book  presents decentralization or even federalization as newly  emerging major topics of socio-political debate in the Arab  world. As the federalist recipes and projects are specific  and the struggle for their implementation has a pronounced  variation, different case studies are presented. Countries  discussed include Libya, Syria, Yemen, and Iraq. The book  looks into the background and prerequisites of the  federalist experiments of the Arab Spring describes their  evolution and current state, and assesses the prospects for  the future. It is, therefore, a must-read for scholars of  political science, as well as policy-makers interested in a  better understanding of previous and current developments  in the Arab countries.},
