Summary/Abstract: The most striking and indeed astonishing feature of this autumn’s political landscape in the European neighborhood is the contradictory trend between East and South. Eastern Europe is reverting back towards authoritarianism, while the Arab world proceeds with its anti-authoritarian revolution. Neither region is homogenous, of course. But the mainstream tendencies are clear.
