During this historic event, monarchs and presidents were forced to defend their rule, whether through Islam, the cultural image of paternalism or the cash flow of welfare. Can Arab leaders still justify apolitical reigns? Are monarchies more respected than republicans or are they too under threat? The author traces the history of apolitical rule in the Arab world, from Islamic roots to the role of Arab leaders in merging religion with socio-economic benefits and cosmetic liberalization. Finally, analysis of speeches given by leaders of Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan and Bahrain in response to the Arab Spring are considered. When protesters took to the streets with their slogans, the regimes talked back. This work discusses the weight of their words and why some leaders survived unrest while others were overthrown. Nicolai Due-Gundersen is a London-based lecturer and political analyst affiliated with the United Nations. He is also a political commentator and has appeared on Al Jazeera and CGTN and is author of The Privatization of Warfare. 001449752 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed October 6, 2022). 001449752 647_7 $$aArab Spring$$d(2010-)$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01896290 001449752 650_0 $$aAuthoritarianism$$zArab countries. 001449752 650_0 $$aArab Spring, 2010- 001449752 651_0 $$aArab countries$$xPolitics and government. 001449752 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001449752 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3031118812$$z9783031118814$$w(OCoLC)1331703130 001449752 852__ $$bebk 001449752 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-11882-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001449752 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1449752$$pGLOBAL_SET 001449752 980__ $$aBIB 001449752 980__ $$aEBOOK 001449752 982__ $$aEbook 001449752 983__ $$aOnline 001449752 994__ $$a92$$bISE
