Power, Governmentality, Resistance and State of Exception in the Arab World
Beirut, 29-30 August, 2008

The conference objective is to analyze different modes of governance in the Arab World as well as the resistance to them beyond the binary dichotomy of authoritarian versus democratic regimes. The conference panels will discuss techniques of governance used in the region in order to control the populations and to restrict their access to the public sphere, acts of resistance that subvert such mechanisms of control, international pressures towards reform and how such challenges are absorbed and transformed into new formations of regime power.
It aims to an improved understanding of the workings and interrelation of state power and resistance in the Arab World.
