Abstract

The Arab Spring of 2011 has revived an academic interest in social movements and revolutions in the Middle East, which was used to be associated with the persistence of authoritarianism. Although the Arab Spring has come up with different outcomes in various countries, currently, there is a burgeoning literature that studies reasons, processes and outcomes of recent social movements and revolutions particularly in the Middle East. In fact, the subject of social movements and revolutions has been underestimated and underexplored in the Middle East studies, or Social Movements studies for a long time. This article argues that despite the negligence of the relevant literature, history of the Middle East has witnessed numerous social movements and revolutions. Then, it provides a historical overview of Middle Eastern revolutions. Against this background, this paper attempts to analyze potential reasons of the aloofness the literature towards social movements and revolutions the Middle East.

Özet

2011 Arap Baharı, otoriteryenizmin sürekliliği ile özdeşleştirilen Ortadoğu’da toplumsal hareketler ve devrimlere olan akademik ilginin artmasına sebep oldu. Bu süreç farklı ülkelerde değişik sonuçlara yol açmış olsa da özellikle Ortadoğu’da devrimlerin ve toplumsal hareketlerin nedenleri, seyri ve sonuçları üzerinde çalışan yeni bir literatür ortaya çıktı. Aslında bölgede meydana gelen toplumsal hareketler ve devrimler gerek Ortadoğu çalışmaları literatüründe, gerekse toplumsal hareket çalışmaları literatüründe uzunca bir süre ihmal edilmiş ve az çalışılmıştır. Bu makalede, ilgili literatürde göz ardı edilmiş olmasına rağmen Ortadoğu’da çok sayıda toplumsal hareketin ve devrimin olduğu belirtilmektedir ve Ortadoğu’da meydana gelen devrimlerin genel bir değerlendirmesi yapılmaktadır. Bu arka planın ortaya çıkarılmasından sonra ilgili literatürün Ortadoğu’da meydan gelen devrimlere ve sosyal hareketlere karşı kayıtsızlığının nedenleri ortaya konulmaya çalışılmaktadır.
