Revolutions in the Arab world have not only shaken or brought down regimes deemed irremovable. Their shock waves have also upset the relations of Arab countries with other states in the world. It is this fundamental and yet little explored question that this book addresses on the repercussions of the Arab revolutions on a regional and international scale, through the examples of Turkey, Iran, Russia, Israel and from China. Each of the chapters of the first part thus offers an off-centre look at the revolutionary processes still at work. The second part of the book allows a completely different shift. By focusing on the media and on the artistic scene, it is a profound reformulation of political discourses and practices that the contributors to this work bring to light. And this, for questions as central as the practices of Islam, the capacities of engagement, and conversely the perpetuation of the logics of obedience. Finally, this book explores, in its last section, the social and spatial transformations on which the revolutions have shed new light: how the liberalization policy led by the al-Assad regime has contributed to the outbreak of violence in Syria. ; how the migrations of workers in the Maghreb, the Middle East and the Gulf have influenced the transformation of Arab regimes; how, lastly, the revolutions changed the relationship of the Egyptians to the public space and of the Libyans to their territory.
