It further examines how the conflicts develop and what their outcomes are \u003c\/em\u003ein the short term as well as in the long term, for both the individuals and the authority figures. In this context, the volume also examines the possibility of standing against an oppressive regime and even overcoming it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis text argues that while the authority figure initially subdues individuals who confront them, their victory is short term. In the long term, their cruelties bring about sown deaths, either by the individuals themselves or by their relatives. Furthermore, large assemblies of people can confront the regime with success. These discoveries, along with other findings presented in the book, remain relevant to the reality in the Middle East and the events leading to the Arab Spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54238600200536,"sku":"9781032095431","price":56.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032095431.jpg?v=1769822135","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/individual-and-the-authority-figure-in-egyptian-prose-literature","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
