THE PEOPLE WANT: A RADICAL EXPLORATION OF THE ARAB UPRISING
Book ID/图书代码： 11908518C00028
English Summary/英文概要： The people want ... So began the slogan chanted by millions of protesters across the Arab world in 2011, as their long-suppressed craving for democracy revealed itself. But huge social and economic problems were also laid bare by the protestors demands.
In this landmark work, noted Middle East analyst Gilbert Achcar draws up a balance sheet of the uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, Libya and Syria, and analyses the specific socio-economic features that hinder the region s development. Achcar also sheds light on the nature and role of the movements that use Islam as a political banner and the oil monarchies that sponsor them.
With incisive and invaluable insight, Achcar outlines the requirements for a lasting solution to the social crisis and the contours of a progressive political alternative. What we have witnessed to date is only the beginning of a revolutionary process that is likely to extend for many more years to come.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《人民的诉求》从2011年间整个阿拉伯世界内无数的反对者所歌颂的标语开始写起，因为他们长期饱受压迫，对民主极其渴望。但是就那些反对者的需求而言，严重的社会和经济问题已暴露无遗。
在此次里程碑式的起义中，著名中东分析学家Gilbert Achcar起草了一份关于突尼斯、埃及、也门、巴林、利比亚和叙利亚地区起义的资产负债表，并分析了阻碍地区发展的社会经济学因素。Achcar还揭晓了此次运动的本质和作用，即以伊斯兰教作为政治旗帜，还有那些资助起义者们的石油王室们的支持。
Gilbert Achcar具备敏锐的眼光和深远的见解，他强调解决社会危机和勾画先进的政治选择轮廓需要一个长久之计, 迄今为止我们所目睹的仅仅是改革性过程的开始，这个过程很可能会延续到未来很多年。(LYR)
Awards/获奖情况：“当灾难性事件仍在发生，当未来仍然非常不确定，当动荡继续成为日常政治惯例时，人们要如何描述革命的时刻？Gilbert Achcar对这个问题给出了恰当的回答。任何想要对阿拉伯起义迄今所造成的后果进行清晰的、有理论根据的评估的读者都将从这本书中受益。”
“这是第一本在广泛的历史范围下探讨阿拉伯起义的著作。本书的本质是邀请读者摈弃以往那些对阿拉伯世界起义的解释。一旦我们远离关于中东的主流学术，历史事件和概念结构就开始呈现出完全不同的面貌。”
“尽管有些读者可能被Achcar毫不掩饰的马克思主义分析分散了注意力，但他的社会经济见解和远见值得肯定。他的见解提供了合理的实际希望，而其他左翼分析家提供的则是厄运和悲观。此外，Achcar的著作中罗列了突尼斯、埃及、巴林、也门、利比亚和叙利亚迄今所取得的成就，以及对每个国家未来前景的评估。
