Introduction -- 1. Nascent and Latent: Differential Roles of Civil Society in Southeast Asia and the MENA Region -- 2. To Shoot or Not to Shoot: The Military in Political Transitions -- 3. Superpowers, Regional Hegemons, Ethno-nations, and Sectarian States: Identity Politics in Transition Regimes -- Conclusion: Transition(ing) to What?

This book investigates the theme of global transitions with a cross-regional comparative study of two areas experiencing change over the past three decades: Southeast Asia and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Political transitions in Asia have been the subject of interest in academic and policy-making communities recently as there are encouraging signs of democratization in countries that exhibit elements of authoritarianism. In those countries with relatively open political systems, transitions to democracy have been complete - albeit messy, flawed, and highly contested. In contrast, countries of the MENA region that have been gripped by revolts in recent years find themselves in the midst of chaotic and uncontrollable transitions. Why are there such differences between these regions? What, if anything, can be learned and applied from the transitions in Southeast Asia? These questions are answered here as Asia's experience is contrasted with the Arab revolts and the struggle of the different countries in the MENA region to fashion a new social contract between states and citizens.
