You have two readings for this week - one on the potential
of social movements as an avenue of democratic representation and one on the
state in the MENA region. I want you to try to make a link between the two -
how might social movements work/not work in the different types of states you
find across the region? In other words, what opportunities and/or challenges do
you see to social movements
functioning as an avenue of democratic participation in the region? And, in light of our conversation with Dr. Gene Sharp, how
do you think these opportunities/challenges differ between revolutionary and
non-revolutionary movements?
