This book looks at the way primarily external actors influenced and were influenced by the revolutionary chaos that erupted in the Arab Middle East in 2011.

The losers are the Arab autocrats who were deposed in Egypt, Libya and Yemen. The Palestinians, seemingly bypassed by the dynamic of Arab revolution, are also losers. So are the American presidentsBush 43 and Obamawhose disastrous strategic decision-making catalyzed Arab state fragmentation and opened the gates of the Levant to Irans drive for regional hegemony. Western democratic society suffered toofrom waves of Islamist terrorism and the effects of Muslim migration generated at least in part by Arab chaos.

Winners and Losers in the Arab Spring
This book looks at the way primarily external actors influenced and were influenced by the revolutionary chaos that erupted in the Arab Middle East in 2011. The Arab revolutions radically altered the Middle East dynamic and particularly the strategic standing of key actors, both locally and globally.
The winners are leaders with strategic understanding of the region and a scheme for exploiting the chaos Putin, Netanyahu and Irans Qasem Soleimani along with, strikingly, the very institution of Arab monarchy. The losers are the Arab autocrats who were deposed in Egypt, Libya and Yemen. The Palestinians, seemingly bypassed by the dynamic of Arab revolution, are also losers. So are the American presidents Bush 43 and Obama whose disastrous strategic decision-making catalyzed Arab state fragmentation and opened the gates of the Levant to Irans drive for regional hegemony. Western democratic society suffered too from waves of Islamist terrorism and the effects of Muslim migration generated at least in part by Arab chaos. Only in the case of two leaders was the jury still out by 2019. The effects of the high-risk policies of Saudi Arabias crown prince Mohamed bin Salman and the strategically incoherent policies of US President Trump remain to be seen.
Winners and Losers in the Arab Spring takes a global look at a massive regional upheaval that is far from over. It is an essential read for everybody interested in the Arab revolutions, Middle East and international strategic affairs.

The UCLA Center for Middle East Development (CMED) series on Middle East security and cooperation is designed to present a variety of perspectives on a specific topic, such as democracy in the Middle East, dynamics of Israeli-Palestinian relations, Gulf security, and the gender factor in the Middle East. The uniqueness of the series is that the authors write from the viewpoint of a variety of countries so that no matter what the issue, articles appear from many different states, both within and beyond the region. No existing series provides a comparable, multinational collection of authors. Thus, the series presents a combination of writers from countries who, for political reasons, do not always publish in the same volume. The series features a number of sub-themes under a single heading, covering security, social, political, and economic factors affecting the Middle East.

The idea of this book began cautiously to take shape around 2014 with a timeline of what I dubbed Arab chaos, and which readers can still find (updated through 2018) at the end of the manuscript. As a course of multiple revolutionary events developed the length and breadth of the Middle East, I frequently found myself starting anew and asking again what it is that this chronicle of chaos is trying to tell me. Conceptualization and structuring of a final descriptive and analytical product took long months and years and involved endless permutations, consultations and rethinking.
Many colleagues in Israel, the Arab world and elsewhere contributed to this effort through their writings and conference presentations. A special thanks is due to Bruce Maddy-Weitzman, professor of history of the modern Middle East and North Africa at Tel Aviv University. Bruce read an early draft manuscript and offered a multitude of comments, corrections and editorial ideas that proved invaluable.
Roger Parkinson, old friend and veteran newspaper publisher in Canada and the US, read the opening sections at a critical juncture in my writing and provided spot-on advice for rendering the manuscript more readable and compelling.
