Regimes Museum Journal Vol. 13, no. 1 (Spring/Summer 2026)

Included in this issue are three articles connected by the theme of resistance. Fabre and Bishoff study civil disobedience in the Arab Spring, discussing how continued social dissonance helped to delegitimize, and thus destabilize, the authoritarian governments involved. Stone examines geographic trends of gender-based violence amongst Islamic non-state armed groups, providing insights important to the prevention of human rights abuses and, specifically, crimes targeting women. Finally, Flannery discusses the multifaceted influences on the WWII-era German resistance group White Rose, drawing connections between the members’ philosophies and various religious and literary movements. We hope that you will find these articles insightful and inspiring.
