Arab Spring and the elusive fifth model?: consensus building as a possible option for the Muslim world / Kumaraswamy, Polur Raman   Journal Article
Kumaraswamy, Polur Raman Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract If the Arab Spring were to bring about meaningful changes to Arab societies, what is needed is a political order that is not only democratic but also inclusive. To be credible, the Arab world, including its Islamists, will have to tread the long and painful path of consensus building. This method is inclusive and hence more enduring than electoral democracy.

Saudi imperial overreach? : why Riyadh's positions are weakening / Kumaraswamy, Polur Raman   Journal Article
Kumaraswamy, Polur Raman Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Regional tension following the Saudi hanging of dissident Shia cleric Nimr Baqir al-Nimr on charges of sedition and incitement comes at a time when Riyadh's regional influence is waning. Through a series of ambitious but ill-advised policy choices and external interventions, the ruling al-Saud family has over-stretched its capabilities and resources and in the process squandered its regional position and influence. While the Saudi concerns vis-à-vis Iran and its hegemonic ambitions both before and after the nuclear deal are understandable, the manner in which Riyadh sought to mitigate these challenges indicates a lack of foresight and strategic thinking.
