Abstract Trapped in the premises of the transition ‘paradogma,’ democratization and authoritarian persistence literature are limited by a linear and continuous understanding of time, a gradualist view of transition, and a procedural definition of democracy. These analytical and normative strictures are compounded by a methodological nationalism that prevents an appreciation of how global factors shape the parameters for political transformation in the contemporary Middle East. Inspired by Gramsci’s theory of history, this article seeks to move beyond these limitations and explore the prospect of transition as rupture, away from democratization as strategy for ensuring duration of capitalist time, and toward democratic transition as epochal change beyond capitalism. By counterposing the effects of the two globalizations and the decolonization in between on the prospects of political transformation in the Middle East, this article argues that the Arab uprisings provide an opportunity for thinking globally and rupturally about political time, transition and democracy in the region.

资本主义时代以外的民主化:阿拉伯起义后中东的过渡时期

摘要民主化和威权主义的持久性文学被困在过渡“超自然主义”的前提下,受到对时间的线性和连续的理解,过渡的渐进主义观点以及民主的程序性定义的限制。这些分析性和规范性的局限性被一种方法论上的民族主义所加重,这种主义使人们无法认识到全球因素如何塑造当代中东政治转型的参数。受到葛兰西历史理论的启发,本文力图摆脱这些局限,探索转型破裂的前景,摆脱民主化作为确保资本主义持续时间的战略,而朝着民主转型的时代转变,超越资本主义。
