In Egypt, something that fails to live up to its advertised expectations is often called a watermelon: a grand promise that later turns out to be empty talk. The political transition in Egypt after protests overthrew Husni Mubarak in 2011 is one such watermelon. Stacher examines the uprising and its aftermath to show how the country's new ruling incumbents deferred the democratic dreams of the people of Egypt. At the same time, he lays out in meticulous fashion the circumstances that gave the army's well-armed and well-funded institution an advantage against its citizens during and after Egypt's turbulent transition. Stacher outlines the ways in which Egypt's military manipulated the country's empowering uprising into a nightmare situation that now counts as the most repressive period in Egypt's modern history. In particular, Stacher charts the opposition dynamics during uprisings, elections, state violence, and political economy to show the multiple ways autocratic state elites try to construct a new political regime on the ashes of a discredited one. As they encounter these different aspects working together as a larger process, readers come to grips with the totality of the military-led counterrevolution as well as understand why Egyptians rightfully feel they ended up living in a watermelon democracy.

"Où va l'Égypte ? Le peuple a-t-il "fait tomber le régime", comme le proclamaient les milliers de manifestants de la place Tahrir en janvier 2011 ? Que s'est-il passé depuis la chute de Moubarak le mois suivant ? Pourquoi l'islam politique, porté par les urnes lors des premières élections libres jamais organisées, a-t-il fait l'objet d'un rejet massif lors de la deuxième révolution de juin 2013 ? Assiste-t-on au rétablissement définitif d'un ordre autoritaire après la répression sanglante des Frères musulmans, l'accession à la présidence du maréchal al-Sissi et l'arrestation de militants révolutionnaires ? Le pays est-il le poste avancé d'une contre-révolution régionale soutenue par les monarchies du Golfe ? Plus active que jamais, la violence jihadiste peut-elle contaminer l'ensemble du spectre islamiste à commencer par la base militante des Frères musulmans, qui s'interroge sur l'action à conduire et dont les dirigeants, condamnés par la justice, croupissent en prison ? Cet ouvrage est le premier à rendre compte des dynamiques en cours dans le pays depuis l'irruption révolutionnaire. Rédigé par des spécialistes égyptiens, américains et français qui ont vécu au rythme des bouleversements de l'actualité égyptienne, il éclaire l'avenir d'un géant démographique, politique et culturel dont les élans et les crises affectent l'ensemble du monde arabe et musulman."--P. [4] of cover.

This book sheds light on the growing phenomenon of cyberactivism in the Arab world, with a special focus on the Egyptian political blogosphere and its role in paving the way to democratization and socio-political change in Egypt, which culminated in Egypt's historical popular revolution on Jan. 25, 2011. In doing so, it examines the relevance and applicability of the concepts of citizen journalism and civic engagement to the discourses and deliberations in five of the most popular political blogs in Egypt, through exploring the potential connection between virtual activism, as represented in the postings on these blogs, and real activism in Egyptian political life, as represented in the calls for social, economic and political reform on the streets.

On 25 January 2011, tens of thousands of Egyptians came out on the streets to protest against emergency rule and police brutality. Eighteen days later, Mubarak, one of the longest sitting dictators in the region, had gone. How are we to make sense of these events? Was this a revolution, a revolutionary moment? How did the protests come about? How were they able to outmanoeuvre the police? Was this really a 'leaderless revolution, ' as so many pundits claimed, or were the protests an out- growth of the protest networks that had developed over the past decade? Why did so many people with no history of activism participate? What role did economic and systemic crises play in creating the conditions for these pro- tests to occur? Was this really a Facebook revolution? Why Occupy a Square? is a dynamic exploration of the shape and timing of these extraordinary events, the players behind them, and the tactics and protest frames they developed. Drawing on social movement theory, it traces the interaction between protest cycles, regime responses and broader structural changes over the past decade. Using theories of urban politics, space and power, it reflects on the exceptional state of non-sovereign politics that developed during the occupation of Tahrir Square.
