Abstract:
This report discusses the way the recent Arab uprisings are appropriated and misused by various political agendas. Many opinions appear to be caught up in clichés and analyses colored by blatant attemps to only see self-serving and worn-out world perspectives confirmed. It is against this background that sobering and thorough academic research on the origins and nature of the Arab uprisings gains urgent value.
