Explanation of the book
The book challenges the idea that what happened in Tunisia and Egypt was not a regime change but rather a deliberate process of transferring power. The author refutes this idea, which was spread by American researchers such as Riva Bhalla, the director of research at the American intelligence firm Stratfor. He believes that what happened in Tunisia is not just temporary protests or unrest, but rather an introduction to a new era of facts, ideas and changes. If the Tunisian revolution changed presidents, governments and oppositions, how could it not change concepts and theories that are no longer able, after the Tunisian and Egyptian events, to defend their legitimacy, existence and continuity?
