Editorial Reviews

"Yossef and Cerami's excellent book engages the question of the long-term security effects of the Arab uprisings and the policy options available to regional governments and the international community in addressing them. By reorienting our security reference points from states to people, and demonstrating how this new reference point demands alternative policy paths, the authors provide concrete suggestions on how to move beyond the violence and insecurities generated by the Arab uprisings towards more sound institutional and political structures that can promote stability and security." Professor Samer Abboud, Arcadia University, USA
