| Summary/Abstract |
THERE ARE A NUMBER of noteworthy features in the recent wave of revolutionary events that have swept across North Africa, successfully dismantling an array of political regimes that previously seemed to be absolutely stable and unshakable.
First, all of them developed (and in the case of Libya, are continuing to develop) according to the same scenario, or "revolutionary template," very reminiscent of a "color revolution" scenario.
Second, "revolutions" in different states of North Africa erupted almost simultaneously, which almost always precludes any element of chance and suggests a high level of coordination (in time) from a "revolutionary center" abroad or the conduct of a special operation thoroughly planned by outside forces.
