J.N.C. Hill has produced a convincing account of politics in the Maghreb which is theoretically sophisticated and filled with empirical insight. It is particularly valuable for its inclusion of the case of Mauritania alongside those of Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco, and deserves a wide readership among scholars and students alike. -- Vincent Durac, University College Dublin Democratisation in the Maghreb provides a good overview of the changing political landscape following the Arab Spring. In particular, it has the value of considering the under-studied aftermath of the 2011-12 protests in Algeria and Mauritania. Moreover, Hill's close reading of Levitsky and Way means that the volume is an important contribution to the theoretical literature on democratic transition. -- JAMES ROSLINGTON, The Maghreb Review [Democratisation in the Maghreb] addresses how the uprisings have changed politics in state-to-state dynamics, or international relations...One of Hill's most important contributions comes with its application of Levisky and Way's theory to North Africa, utilizing underexploited cases where it has never before been tested. -- Matt Buehler, Mediterranean Politics This book is original and timely. It is truly brilliant in many ways. I think it has almost everything a modern book on democratization in the Middle East and North Africa should have - a reliance on Levitsky and Wayne's model, openness to new approaches of democratization processes, and an understanding of the stumbling blocks facing democracy in North Africa and beyond. It is a sophisticated book that provides an elegant and useful analysis of the situation of democracy in the Maghreb before and after the Arab Spring. -- Moha Ennaji, University of F`es, Review of Middle East Studies (MESA) A valuable and rigorous comparative analysis of the divergent democratizing outcomes of the political upheaval that shook the Maghreb in the years surrounding the Arab Spring . -- Marisa Della Gatta, Macquarie University, Democratization
