Framing civility in the Middle East: alternative perspectives on the state and civil society / Volpi, Frederic   Journal Article
Volpi, Frederic Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract The notion of civility, although commonly invoked in narratives about the Middle East and the Muslim world, fails nonetheless to be adequately framed and investigated in analyses of political change in the region. This contribution confronts this problem by considering, first, how far traditional 'Western' notions of civility are relevant to analyses of civility in polities where liberal normativity is not for the most part shared by those individuals and communities involved in everyday civic interactions. It then distinguishes the role that civility is commonly said to play in civil society and, via civil society inthe state-sanctioned framework for a 'good' society, from the relevance of civility for society itself. From this perspective the contribution emphasises the importance ofintersubjectivity in the communication of practices of civility, and de-emphasises the primacy of formal liberal norms and values for the recognition of the 'other' and the articulation of peaceful societal interactions.

Local (R)evolutions in Tunisia, 2011–2014: reconstructing municipal political authority / Volpi, Frederic; Merone, Fabio; Loschi, Chiara   Journal Article
Volpi, Frederic Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract In postrevolutionary Tunisia, local politics have played an important role in the reconstruction of political authority in the wake of regime change. Continuities of governance between the old and new regimes, the local emergence of new social and political actors, and the competition between new and old local actors, as well as between them and the central state, have challenged the authority of national institutions and elected officials. As national actors attempted to rein in local experiments with "direct democracy," local politics generated resistance toward the Islamist-led Ennahda coalition.

Revolution, reform, and stasis in the Maghreb / Volpi, Frederic   Journal Article
Volpi, Frederic Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract The political situation in the Maghreb in the first decade of the twenty-first century presented a vivid image of enforced stability under authoritarian regimes that gave hardly any hint of changing in the short to medium term. The Moroccan monarchy had successfully engineered a fragmented and ineffective political system that was not posing any concrete challenge to its rule. The military-backed Algerian regime had restored the effectiveness of its institutional apparatus through a combination of repression, diversion of oil rents, and divide-and-rule political tactics. The regime of President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali in Tunisia had effectively turned into a police state that did not let any kind of organized opposition challenge the established authoritarian "pact." (In Tunisia, this implicit understanding amounted to stability, provision of state services, and opportunities for personal advancement in exchange for political quiescence.)
