Abstract
Social movement theory has rarely ventured beyond the terrain of the USA and Europe or narrow understandings of the political based on case studies drawn from the global North. Consequently, it often misunderstands activism in the South, which sometimes occurs as silent resistances, bypassing of authority, day-to-day forms of resistance or evading practices of power. Social movement studies are commonly framed by disciplines other than political science, which tends to minimize or obscure the political meanings of those movements.
Except for riots and revolutionary moments, contentious politics has been little studied. More recently the notion of Islamism has marginalized the Middle East as a land of ugly movements, off the maps of mainstream social science. The best-known studies of Islamic mobilizations are either little affected by social movement theory or, despite their empirical richness, limit themselves to asserting that these cases confirm its predictions. Another category of work, research on the associational revival in the Middle East, typically falls into the teleological trap of regarding the awakening of civil society as a sign and a condition for democratization.
The Middle East and North Africa are excellent sites for studying collective action in authoritarian settings and can enrich our understandings of comparative politics and social movement theory. To complement the literature focused on structural processes at the state or regime level, we propose to concentrate on politics under the threshold which might threaten authoritarianism: opportunities and constraints for collective action in authoritarian regimes and their effects on the reconfiguration of such regimes. The objective is to understand regime transformations through the social and political relations that underlie them and not through binary categories of democracy-authoritarianism.
