Arab Spring, the End of Postcolonialism and Emergent Political Imaginaries (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

The paper explores the transformative impact of the Arab Spring on postcolonial political imaginaries, arguing that these uprisings signify a shift away from traditional postcolonial ideologies such as Third World socialism, anticolonial nationalism, and militant Islamism towards new configurations of political thought. By examining the conditions surrounding these movements, it seeks to understand how they challenge established power dynamics and pave the way for an era post-ideological thought, termed 'post-Islamism.' The analysis situates these developments within the broader context of social and political transformations within both the Arab world and other former colonial territories.
