- This volume combines my work over a decade developing Discourse Analysis of EU democracy promotion in the Middle East, two years leading an 11-partner consortium designing and delivering nationwide surveys in seven Arab countries, and five years collaboratively developing innovative uses of survey data. Unique in its methodological rigour and transparency, the combination of these methods enables me to both challenge received knowledge about Arab public opinion on topics from religion to democracy, and identify a mismatch which accounts for EU policy failures and declining ‘normative power’ regionally, compounds Arab autocracies’ brittle stability, and rather than promoting democratization stifles it.
