Zusammenfassung:
This is the first in-depth analysis of the shape and timing of the extraordinary events in Egypt in 2011, the players behind them, and the tactics and protest frames they developed. Drawing on a critical interpretation of social movement theory, interviews with key actors and political analysis, it traces the interaction between protest networks, frames and tactics, regime responses and broader structural changes through successive protest waves over the past decade. It reflects on the exceptional state of non-sovereign politics that developed during the occupation of Tahrir Square.
