Survey Research in the Arab World: Challenges and Opportunities

Survey research has expanded in the Arab world since the 1980s. The Arab Spring marked a watershed when surveying became possible in Tunisia and Libya, and researchers added additional questions needed to answer theoretical and policy questions. Almost every Arab country now is included in the Arab Barometer or World Values Survey. Yet, some scholars express the view that the Arab survey context is more challenging than that of other regions or that respondents will not answer honestly, due to authoritarianism. I argue that this position reflects biases that assume “Arab exceptionalism” more than fair and objective assessments of data quality. Based on cross-national data analysis, I found evidence of systematically missing data in all regions and political regimes globally. These challenges and the increasing openness of some Arab countries to survey research should spur studies on the data-collection process in the Middle East and beyond.

“…Given that youth suffer from high unemployment rates, I expected there to be more discussion on this point. Beissinger, Jamal, and Mazur () explain in “Explaining Divergent Revolutionary Coalitions” that economic concern was listed by 77% of protesters as the “most important” or “second most important” motivation for participating in the Tunisian revolution (p. 4). If economic concern was a primary demand of the revolution, why did not these young people discuss Amol's dream?This raised several issues that are unresolved.…”

This article explores how civically engaged youth in Tunisia are approaching collaboration with noncivically engaged youth to promote greater levels of civic participation. This article is based on qualitative research conducted in Tunis, Tunisia during the summer of 2015 with 16 youth, all under the age of 35. This article will explore youth attitudes regarding civic engagement and barriers to participation in postauthoritarian Tunisia. This article also explores how civically engaged youth utilize informal social spaces such as coffee shops, universities, and social media sites to stir a sense of hope and pride in activism. This research provides a rich snapshot of civically and noncivically engaged youth who comprise 51% of Tunisia's population and led the 2011 revolution that burgeoned the so-called Arab Spring in North Africa and the Middle East. These findings bring into question labels such as "politically inactive" and "potential ISIS fighters" that are employed in the dominant narrative on Tunisian youth. Finally, this research suggests that Tunisian youth wield powerful leadership skills that will continue to play a critical role in the transformation of civic and social norms.

“…"Não em meu nome": os protestos contra a Guerra do Iraque (FARRELL, 2012;HOWARD, 2011;COTTLE, 2011). As reivindicações variavam, pediam o fim da corrupção, melhorias na qualidade de vida, mais emprego, liberdade política, democracia e direitos humanos (BEISSINGER et al, 2015). O "levante" egípcio começou alguns dias depois da derrubada do presidente tunisiano Ben Ali.…”

O objetivo desta pesquisa é identificar os principais atores de dois episódios recentes do ativismo transnacional e o papel das mídias digitais para protestos. A partir de uma revisão de literatura serão analisados dois casos emblemáticos: os protestos coordenados de 15 fevereiro de 2003 contra a iminente Guerra ao Iraque e os de 2011 no Egito, no contexto da Primavera Árabe. Serão trabalhadas as seguintes questões nos casos estudados: 1) Quem são os principais ativistas nesses dois contextos?; 2) Por que trata-se de eventos transnacionais? 3) de que forma as mídias digitais são utilizadas?
