Dangerous Vote. Double-Edged Implications of Fervently Pushing Towards Elections in the Post-Revolution Arab Countries

Abstract

Among the many devices that modern democracies present their citizens with, voting seems to be one of the more weighty and, in a way, attractive.

The term elections usually wants to imply free elections, meaning that any of those considered citizen can take part in the political process, even if it is only at a very basic level.
