    Le nationalisme arabe, rétrospective et prospective : un essai
    in Guerres mondiales et conflits contemporains , n° 262, 2016/2 ,  2016
    Arab nationalism, the dominant political current a mere generation ago, was supplanted by Islamism. The ideas of nationality, even of the nation-state, seem to have become outdated. Yet, governing Tunisia and Egypt between 2011 and 2013 proved detrimental to Islamism; failure and rejection were unusually swift. In the meantime, the problems and challenges that nationalism confronted – such as the struggle for independence, unity, modernization and development – remain unresolved. Insofar as they are still topical, the historical experience of Arab nationalism has not lost its relevance. This article revisits its attempt to achieve advances on the four basic fronts previously referred to. Arab nationalism was an agent in the quest for progress, modernity and emancipation. Although it is possible that it has definitely been relegated to the past, the fact that the aspirations it embodied did not materialize renders its resurgence conceivable.
