520    "In the wake of the unprecedented uprisings that swept 
       across North Africa and the Middle East in late 2010 and 
       2011, there was much speculation that these events 
       heralded the beginning of a new age of democratic 
       transition across the region. The result of a four-year 
       research project, this book offers a cross-country 
       analysis of the dynamics of democratic transition and of 
       the state of democracy and authoritarianism from Tunisia, 
       Sudan and Egypt to Syria, Kuwait and Lebanon. Elbadawi and
       Makdisi identify specific economic, political and social 
       conditions influencing the transition across the region 
       and in each of the individual countries, as well as the 
       requisite conditions for consolidating democracy once the 
       process is initiated. It examines the struggling, halted 
       and painful transitions, where these have for the time 
       being failed, as well as instances in which democratic 
       consolidation can be observed. This is a unique and wide-
       ranging examination of Arab development and democracy for 
       those examining the fate of authoritarian regimes"--

520    "In section two we present definitions of the democratic 
       transitions index and highlight preliminary associations 
       and trends for some pivotal variables used in the 
       analysis. Section three presents the empirical model and 
       outlines the econometric strategy for estimating it. 
       Section four presents the core econometric results and 
       tests a set of hypotheses concerning the role of resource 
       rents, home wars and partial democracy, as well as Arab 
       and non-Arab regional dummies"--|cProvided by publisher.
