520			_aThis book is a collection of essays that explores how countries outside the Western democratic tradition have experienced democratization, especially in light of the Arab Spring. The editors bring together case studies spanning the Middle East, North Africa, and East Asia. The essays challenge the idea that Western‐style democracy is a universal model and instead examine how non‐Western societies imagine, adapt, and sometimes reject democratic ideals. Through contributions from experts, the book investigates questions such as: What does democracy mean in non‐Western cultural contexts? Why did the Arab Spring mobilize certain countries but not others? How do historical, cultural, social, and economic factors shape the paths of political transition in different regions?
