From Prague to the Arab world: a comparative analysis of political springs
Journal Title: Conjuntura Austral: journal of the Global South - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 17
Abstract
The Prague Spring of 1968 marked the political world as the Arab spring that emerged more than four decades after. Almost two years after the start of the revolts in the Arab world, this article aims to analyze the two movements with the comparative methodology. Thus, we expect to better understand the meaning of the events, in addition to verify the role of civil society in the international scene.
