Mısır ve Tunus: Devrime Giden Süreçte Goldstone’un İddialarına Yönelik Deneme Alanları

Tunus ve Mısır'daki devrime giden süreçler yeni aktörleri, ifade biçimlerini ve etki alanı genişleyen sosyal ağları ön plana çıkarmıştır. Protestolar sosyal medya üzerinden örgütlenen sıradan vatandaşlar tarafından düzenlenmiştir. Bunların yanı sıra geleneksel iletişim araçları olan TV ve cep telefonları da bu süreçte etkin rol oynamıştır. Son yıllarda toplumların kültür hayatında büyük oranda değişiklikler meydana gelmiştir. Protesto gösterileri başlamasının ardından çığ gibi büyümüş ve binlerce insan bu gösterilere katılmıştır. Ordular rejim yanlısı bir tutum sergilememiş ve sade vatandaşların eylemleri rejimleri sarsmış ve sonuçta otoriter yöneticilere görevden çekilmekten başka bir seçenek kalmamıştır

Egypt and Tunisia: Testing Grounds for Goldstone’s Assertions on the Revolutionary Process

The revolutionary process in Tunisia and Egypt highlights new actors, modes of expression, and loose networking. The protests were called and organized by ordinary citizens connected through social networking sites. Nevertheless, the older media such as TV and mobile phone were equally significant. The culture of societies had been significantly transformed in recent years. Once the protests began, they snowballed as thousands of people joined in. The mere numbers shook the regimes as the armed forces refused to take sides with the regime, leaving no option for the authoritarian rulers but to step down
