2011年阿拉伯世界的起义再次将国际社会的注意力引向了中东。数百万人走上街头抗议他们的专制政权。这是阿拉伯人民渴望改变的一个重要迹象，同时也是恢复他们尊严的一个机会。尽管随着时间的推移，这些运动有所减弱，但它们引发了关于政治、经济、社会组织和民兵关系的讨论。为了理解这一现象，人们讨论了各种理论，包括革命性的理论。这些国家的革命经验值得考察，因为这些国家在50多年前也经历过类似的变革浪潮。埃及、突尼斯、利比亚、叙利亚和也门等阿拉伯国家在20世纪50年代和60年代经历了政变和领导人更迭。比较这两个时期可能会提供非常有用的见解，以了解人们的需求，以及他们如何行动以实现这些目标。这本书将特别分析埃及在1950年代和2010年代的革命时期。因此，它不仅对研究中东问题的学者和学生有用，而且对那些想了解该地区变革需求本质的人也有用。
A Comparison of the Egyptian Revolutions of 1952 and 2011
The 2011 uprisings across the Arab world directed the attention of the international community to the Middle East once again. Millions of people took to the streets to demonstrate against their autocratic regimes. This was an important indication of the Arab people’s desire for change, along with an opportunity to restore their dignity. Although, over time, these movements weakened, they gave rise to discussions of politics, economy, social organisms, and civil-militia relations. To understand this phenomenon, various theories, including revolutionary ones, were discussed. The revolutionary experiences of these countries are important to examine as these very countries had similar waves of change over 50 years ago. The Arab countries of Egypt, Tunis, Libya, Syria and Yemen had gone through coup d’états and leader changes during the 1950s and ‘60s. Comparing these two periods may provide very useful insights to understand the demands of people and how they act to reach these goals. This book will particularly analyze the revolutionary periods of Egypt in the 1950s and 2010s. As such, it will be useful not only to scholars and students of Middle Eastern studies, but also to people who want to understand the nature of the demands for change in this region.
