As the Arab Spring has demonstrated, social revolts have the potential to ignite democratic dominoes: transitions from authoritarianism to democracy caused in one state after another. Nonetheless, authoritarian states often draw from them a different lesson. This paper examines how authoritarians’ resistances have transformed the democratic dominos into a different outcome in the Arab region. Authoritarians have implemented ex ante and ex post counter domino strategies, such as monopolizing information with media censorship, suspending civil rights, compromising with civil society, and in some instances exploiting neighboring states’ social unrest. Moreover, this paper suggests that the turmoil in neighboring states has sometimes triggered authoritarians to implement counter domino strategies. Ultimately, this paper argues that democratic dominoes, as illustrated in the Arab Spring, should not be regarded as isolated phenomena all of which have similar results, because authoritarians interact with each other to learn from others’ experiences.
