Lecture by Prof. Larbi Sadiki
“Political Parties and Movements in the Post-Arab Uprisings in the Middle East”
Relational Studies on Global Crises Project and Center for Islamic Studies
at Sophia University will invite Professor Larbi Sadiki and hold an
international workshop titled Political Parties and Movements in the
Post-Arab Uprisings in the Middle East.
【Theme】
“Political Parties and Movements in the Post-Arab Uprisings in
the Middle East”
Organized political activity in the Middle East witnessed a rapid
proliferation in the unfolding of the Arab uprisings. Political parties and
movements of various ideological persuasions competed against each other
following the ousting of entrenched authoritarian regimes or in a direct
challenge to the status quo. Pressing issues of electoral practices,
popular support, coalition politics, the role of violence and even social
media dominated how political parties and movements conceived their role in
civil society. This workshop explores how these political actors have
organized themselves and the degree of their impact on largely
authoritarian milieus. Prof. Sadiki and discussants will examine organized
political activity in the post-Arab uprisings through specific examples of
political parties and movements.
