Elites and Arab Politics: New Perspectives on Popular Protest

By Ian Kelly

Book Overview

This work explains elite behaviour in authoritarian systems and proposes why elites withdraw their support for the incumbent when faced with popular uprisings. The book argues that the elite supporting autocrats come from three distinct cadres: the military, the single-party and the personalist.
