A Geopolitical Approach Toward Deficit and Non-Growth of Democracy in The Middle East [Case Study: Iran and Saudi Arabia]
Geopolitics Quarterly. 2021. Vol. 15. No. 4. P. 234–263.
It is argued in this paper that the non-formation or non-growth of democracy in the Middle East is related to geopolitical centrality. The network analysis of Iran and Saudi Arabia in terms of geopolitical centrality indicates that the high geopolitical centrality of these two countries in the existing geopolitical sub-networks at this region is one of the important barriers against realization and promotion of democracy. In Iran before 1979 Revolution, its high centrality under geopolitical sub-networks of security and the west and also after the 1979 Revolution, its high centrality in several ideological sub-networks have made slower Liberal democratic growth in this region.in contrast In Saudi Arabia, high centrality of this country since 1980s in ideological sub-networks and its role in geopolitical sub-networks of west and security on three past decades has hindered formation of Liberal democracy in this country..

Although studies have already found Freedom House’s* Freedom in the World rankings to be geopolitically biased, the index remains in use by academia (including Russian academia) with surprising frequency. This article provides detailed and quantitative evidence that Freedom House* is essentially part of the US Government and US political establishment, and is thus in principle liable ...

The mobility of political changes and the multiplicity of determinants that determine their course make them a rather difficult object to study. Moreover, the process of uncontrolled changes (political revolutions) is unpredictable when a society moves from one type of development and political system to another. This happened in the 90s of the XX century ...

This article deals with some new theoretical and methodological
challenges for contemporary political science to wait for consideration. These
challenges are ontological and epistemological; on the one hand, they derive from the
objective dynamics the political, economic and social reality and, on the other hand,
from the emerging dilemmas of political science itself. The first type of challenges
comprises the ...

In this article, we analyze an inverted U-shaped relationship between the type of regime (on the autocracy-democracy scale) and the risks of revolutionary destabilization. Anocracies tend to be more vulnerable to revolutionary destabilization than full autocracies or full (consolidated) democracies. We also point to a strong positive association between the weakening of autocracies and the ...

In recent years, the question of what form a revolutionary uprising will take – armed or unarmed – has been raised more often. This is because, as shown by numerous studies, revolutionary nonviolence can explain why an uprising fails or succeeds to lead to democracy. In the recent decades the likelihood of revolution being nonviolent appears to ...

Проведенное исследование показывает наличие общей перевернутой U-образной зависимости между типами режима (ранжированными по степени их авторитарности–демократичности) и уровнем рисков революционной дестабилизации: анократиям (частичным автократиям и частичным демократиям) свойственен заметно более высокий уровень рисков революционной дестабилизации, чем полным автократиям или полностью (консолидированным) демократиям. Отметим также, что и внутри полных автократий прослеживается достаточно выраженная положительная корреляция между ...
