| Abstract
|
:
|
The unforeseen mass protests in Tunisia that overthrew Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali and quickly spread to Egypt where Muhammad Hosni Sayyid Mubarak was forced from office highlight that a psychological aspect needs to be added to how revolutions are studied. Although the various countries directly affected by what is now known as the Arab Spring share similar sociopolitical, cultural, and economic backgrounds, the different fates of Ben Ali and Mubarak being forced from power while authoritarians such as Bashar Hafez al-Assad have remained show that these similarities do not necessarily dictate how an authoritarian will behave when facing similar popularly-backed threats. The literature on revolutionary social movements provides insight into what conditions such revolutionary movements need to succeed, in terms of organization and resources, as well on how international relations of closed political systems can aid or hinder the survival of such systems when faced with existential crisis. However, a psychological perspective on why an authoritarian may relinquish power when challenged has been largely missed in this literature.
