Mistaking data for "theory"

Article Abstract:

A response to Karen Kramer's criticism of 'Getting to Arab Democracy: The Promise of Pacts' contends that the best indication that a transformation is under way in the Arab world would be the changes in the institutions that ensure political control. The prodemocratic political ferment in the Arab world should neither be too hastily discounted, nor should it be thought that Islamist groups such as those of the Muslim Brotherhood are the solution to the problem of authoritarian politics that will play a constructive part in democratic transitions.
