ajiss-1685	Hamid, Shadi	Islam and Democracy in the Middle East: By Larry Diamond, Marc F. Plattner, and Daniel Brumberg, eds. (Baltimore and London: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2003. 322 pages.)	2005.0	4	.pdf	application/pdf	1274	42	46	Considering that Egypt and Jordan, Book Reviews 131 once thought to be harbingers of Arab democracy, have fallen into the “trap of liberalizing autocracy,” it has become increasingly difficult to envision how real democracy will ever actually come about in the region. Other authors, in the first of three sections entitled “Democratization in the Arab World,” argue that contrary to what appearances may suggest, many Arab countries are not only stagnating insofar as real, structural change is concerned, but are actually regressing in some respects.	cache/ajiss-1685.pdf	txt/ajiss-1685.txt
