N2  - "The Arab Spring of 2011 unleashed a torrent of hope, change--and conflict. Two years on, the excitement of new freedoms has given way to a confusing situation ranging from gradual democratization to vicious repression, and a mounting frustration that, despite transformations in the political sphere, the daily lives of most people in the region have yet to see an improvement. With the aid of first-hand reporting, Lin Noueihed and Alex Warren uncover the competing forces vying for dominance in the region, analyzing the complex interplay between hardline Islamists and those more open to compromise, frustrated liberals, and the embittered remnants of the old regimes. As tensions mount and the economic situation worsens, they ask: where next for the Arab world?"--p. [4] of cover
