ABSTRACT During the reign of King Mohammed VI, Morocco experienced a rapid expansion in regional economic and military ties that have given a gradual impetus to a shift in regional power constellations. But in the shadow of this hard power trajectory, the Moroccan regime is increasingly capitalizing on its soft power resources as well. In this paper, we demonstrate how the kingdom’s considerable cultural capital – arising from religion, historicity, and tradition – has become a political instrument to improve the country’s outward image. The regime inter alia employs cultural politics and public diplomacy measures in Islamic and Jewish religious policy, through the commercialization of material and immaterial cultural heritage and through the massive investment into cultural infrastructure to construct a new nation brand and subsequentially solidify Morocco’s regional and international soft power standing. This, in turn, has enabled Morocco to more successfully pursue its foreign policy goals, first and foremost its quest to gain sovereignty over the Western Sahara. The research is based on media analysis and original data from semi-structured interviews conducted between February 2020 and February 2021.
在国王穆罕默德六世统治时期,摩洛哥经历了区域经济和军事联系的快速扩张,这逐渐推动了区域权力格局的转变。但在这种硬实力轨迹的阴影下,摩洛哥政权也越来越多地利用其软实力资源。在本文中,我们展示了王国可观的文化资本——源自宗教、历史和传统——如何成为改善国家对外形象的政治工具。除其他外,该政权在伊斯兰和犹太宗教政策中采用文化政治和公共外交措施,通过物质和非物质文化遗产的商业化以及通过对文化基础设施的大规模投资来建立一个新的国家品牌,并随后巩固摩洛哥的区域和国际软实力地位。这反过来又使摩洛哥能够更成功地实现其外交政策目标,首先是谋求获得对西撒哈拉的主权。该研究基于2020年2月至2021年2月期间进行的媒体分析和半结构化访谈的原始数据。

Donald Trump US narratives towards the region have been characterized by both continuity and change. ‘Lacking a distinct foreign policy narrative’ the European Union projects its ‘internal meta-narrative of peaceful integration’ towards the MENA region, (p. 175) especially through its institutionalized Euro-Mediterranean frameworks of cooperation, which is widely perceived as normative. Without any prospect of accession and any willingness among Arab states to pursue EU reforms, however, the EU’s narrative of regional order has limited impact. Political Narratives in the Middle East and North Africa. Conceptions of Order and Perceptions of Instability, editors Wolfgang Mühlberger and Toni Alaranta, is an important addition to the relatively understudied topic of narratives, both theoretically and empirically. Though the selection of regional countries can be questioned – in fact there are no states from North Africa in spite of the fact that Tunisia, Libya, Egypt have all had their 2011 uprising, or Algeria in 2018 -, the research may, and certainly will, go on by expanding to cover further case studies.
美国对该地区的叙述既有连续性,也有变化性。“缺乏明确的外交政策叙事”,欧盟将其“和平一体化的内部元叙事”投射到中东和北非地区(第175页),特别是通过其制度化的欧洲-地中海合作框架,这被广泛认为是规范的。然而,由于阿拉伯国家没有加入欧盟的希望,也没有追求欧盟改革的意愿,欧盟关于地区秩序的叙述影响有限。中东和北非的政治叙事。《秩序的概念和对不稳定的感知》,编辑沃尔夫冈·米尔伯格和托妮·阿兰塔,是一个重要的补充,相对较少研究的主题叙事,在理论上和经验上。尽管对地区国家的选择可能会受到质疑——事实上,尽管突尼斯、利比亚、埃及都在2011年发生了起义,阿尔及利亚在2018年发生了起义,但北非没有国家——但研究可能,也肯定会继续扩大,以涵盖更多的案例研究。

ABSTRACT This article analyses the evolution of China's political and economic relations with the Greater Maghreb States (Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, and Tunisia), a major part of the Southern Mediterranean that has attracted foreign powers. It discusses how China has gradually incorporated the Southern Mediterranean states into the New Silk Road through bilateral and multilateral relations, strategic partnerships, and the development of interconnectivity not only in the Southern Mediterranean but also onto the adjacent Sahel. Notwithstanding their dependence on Europe, the Maghreb countries' economic relations with China have grown noticeably. Due to shared historical legacy and overlapping roles, Algeria has the closest ties with China, which signed in 2014 a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with Algeria, the first of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa. China strives for an environment in the region that is conducive to advancing its economic and national security interests. It seeks to enact that objective through its self-attributed roles as South-South collaborator and developer. The multilateral forums it has instituted contribute to its external altercasting of ‘developmental values’, to cultivate trust, and engage in greater socialisation with its partners. Through altercasting, Beijing expects its partners to assimilate and support its policies and accept China's national role conceptions.

ABSTRACT More than half of leaders who come to power through military coups hold elections to legitimate their regimes, yet there is extensive subnational variation in how citizens accept or reject this process. In this paper, we examine district-by-district voting patterns in Egyptian presidential elections a few months following the July 2013 military coup to identify the ecological correlates of three district-level measures of citizen engagement with the electoral process: voter turnout, valid (non-spoilt) ballots, and votes cast for the regime-affiliated candidate. Controlling for baseline measures of these outcomes from the free and fair presidential elections prior to the coup, we find support for the enduring effect of partisanship: districts with higher support for the deposed candidate in pre-coup elections featured systematically lower turnout and rates of valid voting in post-coup elections.
摘要通过军事政变上台的领导人中,有一半以上通过选举使其政权合法化,但在公民接受或拒绝这一过程的方式上,国家以下各级存在着广泛的差异。在本文中,我们研究了2013年7月军事政变后几个月埃及总统选举中的逐区投票模式,以确定公民参与选举过程的三个区级指标的生态相关性:选民投票率、有效(未损坏)选票和为政权附属候选人投下的选票。控制政变前自由公正的总统选举的这些结果的基线指标,我们发现党派之争的持久影响得到了支持:在政变前的选举中,对被罢免的候选人支持率较高的地区,在政变后的选举中投票率和有效投票率系统性地较低。

emphasizing the class dimension – two strands that have rarely been connected in the analysis of Lebanon. The volume also has the merit of providing a detailed and timely analysis of the main alliances between Lebanon’s political parties and how they have been re-arranged especially in some important debates that have informed political life – most importantly, regarding elections and election law. But not only that: The volume offers insight into the political forces in the field and the intraand inter-sectarian conflicts by connecting them with the external alliances that have forged and influenced them. This analysis explains some apparent ‘oddities’ of Lebanese political life, of which the alliance between the Shiite Hizballah and the Christian Free Patriotic Movement is the most evident. Between the lines, however, the analysis also explains the Lebanese political elites’ ability to increase the pressure almost to breaking point. Through a skilful and wise use of sectarian language to mobilize and demobilize their sectarian members, Lebanese politicians have created a short circuit that continues to hold Lebanese democracy hostage to this day. Although the most recent events (the protests of October 2019, the Eurobond default of March 2020 and the explosion at the port of Beirut on 4 August 2020) seem to have restarted some processes that had been silenced or dormant in previous years, the difficulties of the political parties to converge on a new government suggests that Assi’s argument is, sadly still valid.
强调阶级层面- -在分析黎巴嫩时很少把这两个方面联系起来。这本书的优点还在于详细而及时地分析了黎巴嫩各政党之间的主要联盟及其如何重新安排,特别是在影响政治生活的一些重要辩论中- -最重要的是关于选举和选举法的辩论。但不仅如此:这本书还通过将这些政治力量与形成并影响它们的外部联盟联系起来,深入了解了该领域的政治力量以及宗派内部和宗派之间的冲突。这种分析解释了黎巴嫩政治生活中一些明显的“怪事”,其中最明显的是什叶派真主党和基督教自由爱国运动之间的联盟。然而,在字里行间,分析也解释了黎巴嫩政治精英们增加压力的能力,几乎到了崩溃的地步。黎巴嫩政客巧妙而明智地使用宗派语言来动员和遣散其宗派成员,制造了一个短路,直到今天仍继续将黎巴嫩民主作为人质。尽管最近的事件(2019年10月的抗议活动、2020年3月的欧洲债券违约和2020年8月4日的贝鲁特港爆炸)似乎重启了前几年沉默或休眠的一些进程,但各政党在组建新政府方面的困难表明,可悲的是,阿西的论点仍然有效。

Seeing the future through a rear-view mirror: On the politics of revitalizing secular bio-icons in the Middle East 透过后视镜看未来:中东世俗生物符号复兴的政治

ABSTRACT This paper investigates secular bio-icons’ political revitalization, illustrating their application as critical interventions into contemporary political struggles in the Middle East. To elucidate this phenomenon, we introduce the concept politics of revitalization to address how memory entrepreneurs can manage the past in ways that legitimize their involvement in particular visions of the future, thereby holding the potential to consolidate the position of political elites in power. Based on an analysis of three secular bio-icons: Jamila Bouhired, Leila Khaled and Hilarion Capucci, we argue that the mobilizing, resistive and aspirational potential of secular bio-icons can be utilized strategically by political actors to boost and legitimize existing (and widely contested) regimes or ideological beliefs by anchoring them in mediated renditions of historical narratives. We hold that secular bio-icons’ political application constitutes a distinct social technique applied by Iran, Syria and Hizbollah to (re)activate nostalgic collective memories, pointing towards particular futures in which they entrench their political status and undermine opposing actors.
摘要本文探讨世俗生物符号的政治复兴,并举例说明它们在当代中东政治斗争中的关键干预作用。为了阐明这一现象,我们引入了复兴政治的概念,以解决记忆企业家如何以使他们参与未来特定愿景合法化的方式管理过去,从而巩固政治精英在权力中的地位。基于对三个世俗生物偶像的分析:Jamila Bouhired, Leila Khaled和Hilarion Capucci,我们认为世俗生物偶像的动员,抵抗和抱负潜力可以被政治行动者策略性地利用,通过将现有(广泛争议的)政权或意识形态信仰锚定在历史叙事的中介再现中来促进和合法化。我们认为,世俗生物符号的政治应用构成了伊朗、叙利亚和真主党(Hizbollah)用来(重新)激活怀旧集体记忆的一种独特的社会技术,指向特定的未来,在这种未来中,它们巩固了自己的政治地位,削弱了对立的行动者。

ABSTRACT When under pressure do mainstream Islamist movements moderate more, or do they moderate less? Focusing on the Muslim Brotherhood movement in Jordan, I argue that religious framing and references are reaffirmed in the discourse and programmes of the movement (and its party) despite pressure, ensuing splits and internal disputes. Through field interviews, media and content analysis, I find that the movement reacted to pressure by adopting a conciliatory stand and appeasing rhetoric towards the Jordanian authorities. However, the movement also stresses its religious themes and references as a source for mobilization and legitimacy.
在压力下,主流伊斯兰运动是更温和,还是更不温和?以约旦的穆斯林兄弟会(Muslim Brotherhood)运动为例,我认为,尽管面临压力、分裂和内部纠纷,但该运动(及其政党)的话语和纲领中,宗教框架和参考得到了重申。通过实地采访、媒体和内容分析,我发现该运动对压力的反应是对约旦当局采取和解立场和绥靖言论。然而,该运动也强调其宗教主题和参考作为动员和合法性的来源。

Civil society, insecurity and Arab support for normalization with Israel: Contextualizing the Abraham Accords 公民社会、不安全和阿拉伯国家对与以色列关系正常化的支持:《亚伯拉罕协定》的背景

ABSTRACT Extant literature suggests that public support for peace accords plays a role in their durability. Yet while the Abraham Accords represent significant rapprochement between governments, the region is marked by the conditions of violence and insecurity that harm social trust and reduce the likelihood of conciliatory views among citizens. Using Arab Barometer data from twelve countries (2012–2014), I explore the factors that lead Arab citizens to be more supportive of normalization. I argue that while instability undermines the demand for peace, civil society engagement develops bonding and bridging social capital that supports conciliatory views. I find that perceived insecurity is negatively related to support for Arab-Israeli peace, yet greater social capital, in the form of tolerance, associational membership, and social media use, produced demand for peace. Country of residence and religious identity are important predictors, with Sunni and Shi’a Muslims being less conciliatory towards Israel than Christians. Contrary to assumptions underlying US foreign policy, participating in politics by voting in democratic or authoritarian elections or protesting were related to lower demand for peace. By illustrating the role that civil society and perceived security play, the results have implications for scholars of security studies and policymakers working to support peacemaking.
现有文献表明,公众对和平协议的支持对和平协议的持久性起着重要作用。然而,虽然《亚伯拉罕协定》代表了政府间的重大和解,但该地区的特点是暴力和不安全状况,损害了社会信任,减少了公民之间和解观点的可能性。利用来自12个国家(2012-2014)的阿拉伯晴雨表数据,我探索了导致阿拉伯公民更支持正常化的因素。我认为,虽然不稳定会削弱对和平的需求,但民间社会的参与会形成纽带和桥梁式的社会资本,支持和解的观点。我发现,感知到的不安全感与对阿以和平的支持呈负相关,但更大的社会资本,以宽容、协会成员资格和社交媒体使用的形式,产生了对和平的需求。居住国和宗教身份是重要的预测因素,逊尼派和什叶派穆斯林对以色列的态度比基督徒更温和。与美国外交政策的基本假设相反,通过民主或专制选举投票或抗议参与政治,与对和平的需求降低有关。通过说明民间社会和感知安全所起的作用,研究结果对致力于支持缔造和平的安全研究学者和政策制定者具有启示意义。

By illustrating the role that civil society and perceived security play, the results have implications for scholars of security studies and policymakers working to support peacemaking.","PeriodicalId":46666,"journal":{"name":"Mediterranean Politics","volume":"28 1","pages":"525 - 553"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2021-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46008548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT Quantitative research demonstrates that fighting clusters in space during civil wars, and that communities will be more likely to take up arms if they are located close to one or more other communities that are already engaged in combat. Yet the proposed explanations for such spatial clustering remain inadequate. Existing studies posit the importance of the dispersion of government resources, logistical connections among combatants, asymmetries of information and an assortment of negative externalities. Developments in the Syrian civil war indicate that only the second and fourth of these arguments look promising, and that threats to community security seem much more pertinent.
摘要定量研究表明,内战期间,战斗在太空中聚集,如果社区位于一个或多个已经参与战斗的其他社区附近,则社区更有可能拿起武器。然而,对这种空间聚类的拟议解释仍然不够充分。现有研究认为,政府资源分散、战斗人员之间的后勤联系、信息不对称和各种负面外部因素具有重要意义。叙利亚内战的事态发展表明,这些论点中只有第二个和第四个看起来很有希望,对社区安全的威胁似乎更为重要。
