The Role of Civil Society in the Transformations of Egypt, Libya and Tunisia
Original language description
The chapter focuses on the role of the Civil Society in the processes of transition to democracy, as a part of the possible democratization wave in the Middle East. Firstly, the author deals with general view on the Civil Society in the Middle East region and its role as a driving force of the revolutions. Secondly, the author examines three case studies, concretely Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia. Using the method of process-tracing with focus on the path-dependency it traces the changes in the dynamics of the Civil Society in the pre-revolutionary period, concretely during Mubarak´s regime in Egypt, Qaddafi´s rule in Libya, and Ben Ali´s regime in Tunisia, through the revolutions to the post-revolutionary period. The main assumption is that the initial non-democratic regimes have been significantly influencing the transformation process of all three countries and this also applies to the Civil Society as such. The contribution deals with the Civil Society in terms of two paradigms. The first is based on the liberal modernization framework and the second is connected with stagnation and socio-economic deprivation. This unique combination contributed to the transformation of Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia.
