The Arab Spring

<p><em>Abstrak</em> - <strong>Musim Semi Arab adalah fenomena yang terjadi di negara-negara Timur Tengah yang timbul dari dinamika sosial yang menginginkan orde baru yang dapat mengubah keadaan suatu negara dalam bentuk protes atau pemberontakan yang dilakukan oleh pro-demokrasi di Timur Tengah dan Afrika Utara melawan rezim otoriter di wilayah yang dimulai sekitar tahun 2010 hingga 2011. Dalam studi Budaya Arab bukanlah fenomena baru di Timur Tengah, karena Hitti (2006) mengatakan bahwa budaya Arab egaliter dan geografi gurun tandus khas adalah faktor yang membentuk karakter dan kepribadian utama yang keras dan pantang menyerah. Analisis deskriptif tentang pendekatan kualitatif terhadap budaya Arab fenomena Musim Semi Arab sangat langka sehingga, penulis berharap tulisan ini bisa menggambarkan studi budaya Arab dalam fenomena Musim Semi Arab. Orde baru yang merupakan harapan utama dinamika sosial masih jauh dari harapan, sehingga dalam tulisan ini penulis memberikan alternatif untuk pembentukan sebuah teori berbasis masyarakat regional dan berbasis masyarakat masyarakat Arab pasca Islam.</strong></p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong><em>Kata Kunci</em></strong><em> – Arab Spring, Dinamik, Budaya, Arab</em></p><p> </p><p><em>Abstract</em> - <strong>Arab Spring is a phenomenon that occurs in the countries of the Middle East arising from a social dynamic who want a new order that can change the state of a country in the form of protest or rebellion committed by the pro-democracy in the Middle East and North Africa against authoritarian regimes in the region that started around the year 2010 up to 2011.

Descriptive analysis of the qualitative approach to the Arab culture of the Arab Spring phenomenon is so rare that, the author hopes this paper can describe the Arab culture studies in the phenomenon of the Arab Spring. New order which is the main hope of social dynamics is still far from the </strong><strong>hope</strong><strong>, so in this paper the authors provide an alternative to the establishment of a regional and community based theory of post-Islamic Arab society institutions.</strong></p><p> </p><p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong> - <em>Arab Spring, Dynamics, Culture, Arab</em><em></em></p>

The “Arab Spring” as Seen through the Prism of the 1979 Iranian Revolution

Revolutions are by nature unpredictable and unsettling. That the wave of revolutions in North Africa and the Arab Middle East began so unexpectedly and spread with such speed, leading to the fall of the governments of Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya, has added to the concern regarding the “new order” that is to come after the initial euphoria. From the outset, the fear has been that these revolutions will follow the same trajectory as Iran did in 1979—in other words, that they will marginalize those who launched the revolutions and provide the grounds for the rise to power of the most savvy, purposeful, and best organized of the opposition groups, namely, the Islamists. Yet when one considers the recent uprisings in the Arab world through the prism of Iran's experiences in 1979, the parallels are not so evident. Mindful of the variations and distinctions between each of the revolutions in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya, it would appear that in broad terms, and beyond superficial similarities, there is little in common between the events of Iran in 1979 and what has happened in the past year in the Arab world.

The Arab Spring

This article discusses the Arab spring and its effects in Indonesia. The discourse which is related to the Middle East revolution widely being topic in either electronic or printed mass media has showed not only a consti- tutive but also a constituted discourse. It is called constitutive because the Arab spring leads to practices that anticipate the effects or consequences of the turbulence which factually happened in the Middle East. However, it is constituted discourse, for it is created by perceptions that are rooted from social events, social practices, and social structures in Indonesia; that is mainly the experience of a transition from the New Order to the Reform Era which is assumed not too far different.

The Arab Spring

This chapter argues that revolution is not separate from the very discourse and arrangements it responds to. Rather, it is subsumed in a legitimation discourse, and it is engulfed by similar tensions. Although revolution may erupt because of a perceived legitimacy deficit, it does not solve the conceptual deficiency of legitimacy. This is because revolution vacillates between an event that inaugurated it and a process that seeks to complete it. This duality makes revolution a contradictory concept that includes its own negation because different protagonists deploy it in contradictory ways. The very qualities that enable the designation of the Arab Spring as a revolution enable the counter-revolution. In other words, revolution does not provide a stable, unambiguous framework within which the new political order can be established. Consequently, the revolution’s attempt to delegitimate the status quo and legitimate the new order re-enacts the incoherence and instability of other legitimation devices.

Western Perspective

This study articulates that most of the critical theorists are still strikingly neglecting the study of the Arab Uprising(s) adequately. After almost a decade of the eruption of the so-called Arab Uprisings, the study claims that the volume of scholarly engaging of dominate Western International Relations (IR) theories with such unprecedented events is still substantially unpretentious. Likewise, and most importantly, the study also indicates that most of these theories, including the critical theory of IR (both Frankfurt and Habermasian versions), have discussed, engaged, analysed, and interpreted the Arab Spring (a term usually perceived to be orientalist, troubling, totally inappropriate and passive phenomenon) indicate a strong and durable egoistic Western perspective that emphasis on the preservation of the status quo and ensure the interests of Western and neoliberal elites, and the robustness of counter-revolutionary regimes. On the other hand, the writings and scholarships that reflexively engaged and represent the authentic Arab views, interests, and prospects were clearly demonstrating a strong and durable scarce, if not entirely missing.

Geopolitical Imaginations

This article critically analyses Turkish security discourses connected to the meta-geography of the Broader Middle East and North Africa (BMENA) before and after the developments of the Arab Spring. A critical geopolitics approach and critical security theories in international relations provide the theoretical framework, as security discourses are considered to be a product of geopolitical imaginations and codes that, in turn, shape the making of foreign and security policies. First, the article examines the invention of BMENA as a meta-geography within Turkey’s new geopolitical imagination, as well as the new geopolitical codes underlying the new security discourses. Then, the article assesses the impact of the Arab Spring, which led to major changes in Turkey’s newly established geopolitical codes, formulated in the pre-Arab Spring period, and analyses the ruptures and continuities in Turkey’s security discourses in the light of those developments. Finally, the article concludes that the Arab Spring, especially the Syrian crisis, shifted the focus of Turkey’s foreign policy in BMENA from cooperation to conflict. This has led to a resecuritization of Turkey’s geopolitical codes, discourses and security practices in the region, revealing the limitation of Turkey’s current geopolitical imagination.

The Arab Spring

Geopolitically intertwined and strategically significant refugee policy in the MENA region is frequently analyzed in light of well-documented ethnic, religious, class, and border conflicts. However, the policy is also inexorably linked to the broader geopolitics of the global refugee protection regime and discourse. This article analyzes the complex relationship between geopolitics, domestic political dynamics, and their attendant crises in the MENA region. The complex set of political shockwaves of the Arab Spring induced massive mobility of people which may compound incipient political tensions between and within MENA states.
