Where Did the Revolution Go? considers the apparent disappearance of
the large social movements that have contributed to democratization.
Revived by recent events of the Arab Spring, this question is once
again paramount. Is the disappearance real, given the focus of mass
media and scholarship on electoral processes and 'normal politics'?
Does it always happen, or only under certain circumstances? Are those
who struggled for change destined to be disappointed by the slow pace
of transformation? Which mechanisms are activated and deactivated
during the rise and fall of democratization? This volume addresses
these questions through empirical analysis based on quantitative and
qualitative methods (including oral history) of cases in two waves of
democratization: Central Eastern European cases in 1989 as well as
cases in the Middle East and Mediterranean region in 2011.
