The Narrow Path: Acts of Citizenship by the Arab Youth Lessons from Egypt and Morocco

Résumé

2010-2011. It is true that these uprisings can partly be seen as a reflection, one neither spontaneous nor mechanical, of qualitative changes in the sociological structures and relationships that have taken place as a result of demographic changes in Arab societies. 1 Long-term demographic developments have weakened the patriarchal structures and led to the questioning of authority in general and of politics in particular. The youth has become a significant aspect of demography and an important socio-political factor, one that has put forward claims for dignity and civil rights. Its activism has changed the political map in a number of countries. At the same time, politics has become increasingly interested in youth. The notion that youth is the driving force behind current political mobilisations and the promotor of new forms of participation has become axiomatic. 2 As political freedom and socioeconomic rights were at the heart of the uprisings, and because the youth had suffered the most from social, economic, and political exclusion, it is unsurprising that they stood at their foreground.
