Arab Spring, Its Aftermath, and James Davies’ Inverted J-Curve
Critical Sociology. 2024. Vol. 50. No. 1. P. 177–182.
We show that in the post-revolutionary Tunisian case we are dealing here with the famous inverted J-curve effect that was first described by James C. Davies (1962)—risks of revolutionary destabilization are especially high when a pronounced economic slowdown comes after a few years of dynamic economic growth that creates inflated expectations. And this destabilization can well be not only revolutionary, but also quasi-revolutionary and counterrevolutionary; it can well result in regime change—and not only in democratic, but also in authoritarian direction, as well as in general state breakdown.

Specifically, how do normative constraints depend on the presence and status of observers, and how do such relational contingencies vary across cultures? Using data from more than 25,000 individuals across 90 societies, we test several hypotheses linking ...

Несмотря на признание музеев важными центрами сохранения наследия и популяризации науки, вопрос об их реальной включённости в повседневную образовательную жизнь
