On The Basis Of An Array Of İnternal And External Factors, This Book Aims To Shed Some Light Upon The Ways Of How Authoritarianism Survived, By Taking Four Case Studies (Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt And Iraq). While Many Of Those Factors Have Been Highlighted Before, We Believe What İs Missing İs Perhaps The Unique İnteraction Between Them.
