‫البحث عن ديمقراطية عربية: الخطاب والخطاب المقابل‬

by Larbi Sadiki, العربي صديقي

أهم ما يميز هذا الكتاب أنه تمتزج فيه جوانب التناول التاريخي والسياسي والأيديولوجي والفلسفي، في صياغة منهجية وبحثية رفيعة ليصل إلى ما يسميه المؤلف نفسه «لحظة تاريخية في المجتمعات العربية... حيث تبدو على درجة كبيرة من الثقة في الانخراط مع مسألة «الديمقراطية» والمشاركة في مثلها الأعلى وتجربتها».

I was working on a programme for human rights and democracy in Egypt when I read this. I thought it might provide some useful background information. Well, not really, but it was incredibly thought provoking. I didn't read it cover to cover - a few chapters/interviews I found a bit tough, and so skipped onto something more appealing. But some parts of Sadiki's own analysis were, I think, quite illuminating. He uses methods that to me resembled literary theory/semiology to deconstruct accepted views of democracy but also to show how new and more vibrant forms of democracy are not just possible but necessary, not just for the Arab world but to rejuvenate a European and Western democracy that often doesn't get much further than the ballot box.
