Introduction: Deconstructing Women's Empowerment in the Middle East and North Africa -- 1 Domestic Violence Laws in the U.A.E: A Religious Argument for Criminalizing Domestic Violence -- 2 Contextualizing the Legal Change: Addressing Normative Paradigms and the Constraints on Equal Rights for Women in the Arab World -- 3 Kin-Based Values and Attitudes Towards Gender Equality in Morocco and Egypt -- 4 No Agency Without Grassroots Autonomy: Exploring a Framework for Evaluating the Substance of Women's Political Inclusion across the Kingdoms of Jordan, Bahrain, and Morocco -- 5 What Islamic Feminists Want: Lessons from the Kuwaiti Experience -- 6 Interest and Exposure?Based Explanations for Egalitarian Attitudes in the Arab World -- 7 Syrian and Syrian Palestinian Women in Lebanon: 'Actors of Citizenship'? -- 8 Post Arab Spring Transformations: In Need of Feminine Politics -- 9 Women and Democracy after the Arab Spring: Theory, Practice and Prospects.

This book sheds light on some of the most critical issues impeding the advancement of women's rights post Arab Spring, such as patriarchy, barriers to women's agency in the legal and socioeconomic realms, women's access to the decision-making process, citizenship rights, and the impact of conflict on women's status. It offers a distinct perspective that takes into account the diversity of the Arab world and presents a theoretical framework on the study of women's empowerment amid the transformations that have shaped the social and political fabrics of Arab societies. Empowering Women after the Arab Spring represents cutting-edge research from a variety of academic disciplines -- anthropology, political science, and sociology -- and presents comparative analyses from places including the United Arab Emirates, Syria, Egypt, and Tunisia. This volume offers one of the first systematic efforts to combine qualitative and quantitative research to draw a more accurate picture of the realities of Middle Eastern women.
