Hybridization of Domestic Order-Making int eh Contemporary MENA-region: Methodology and Concept Papers

This methodology and concept paper for the Horizon 2020 MENARA-project analyses the recent changes in domestic order-making in the MENA-region. It argues that the domestic political orders in the region are going through a period of crisis and restructuring where the forms and functions of states, regimes, contentious actors and collective identities are affected. Conceptualizing these trends as part of a broader process of hybridization of domestic political order-making in the MENA region the papaer sheds light both on empirical developments and on the analytical categories that scholars make use of to describe and theorize them.
