“Plus de dix ans après les révoltes populaires dans les pays arabes, comment le printemps arabe a redessiné le “Monde Arabe” ? L’objectif de cet essai de cartographie est loin de faire un bilan des révolutions. Il s’agit tracer la nouvelle géopolitique multiscalaire de la région au prisme de ces révoltes.”
