Good read! Thanks for the link.
I was a little underwhelmed with the argument presented. I find the comparison between 1989 and 2011 to be not terribly useful. The author pointed out that transitions to democracy in 1989 were aided by their proximity to democratic Europe, while the Arab Spring revolutions were more distant. I wish there had been a more in-depth discussion of the role of geographic location in democratization (if it is, in fact, important), because it came off as a throwaway point without much support.
As a whole, though, I enjoyed the article, although it didn't include much that I hadn't read elsewhere already. BUT! The book the author wrote has now jumped to the top of my reading list. Can't wait to get my hands on a copy.
If yoyu found this article interesting, you should check out his book Monsoon. I haven't finished it yet, but it's about the geopolitics of the Indian Ocean and quite good.
