Future of Arab countries relations after revolutions

While the aftermath of World War II is often referred to as one of the primary creators of deep rooted turmoil in the Middle East region, the effects of the Cold War and the United States often over-zealous battle against communism is just as much a contributor if not more. The Arab world and the Middle East region were clearly going through quite an extraordinary period throughout World War II and its conclusion, primarily with the creation of most of the states we recognize today and struggling with the continuation of colonialism. These factors set the stage for the emergence of strong nationalist sentiments and Pan-Arab movements across the Middle East. Unfortunately, and much to the detriment of the region, the leaders of these young

Historically, there have been many problems in the Middle East due to foreign occupation. Middle East has always been hot and it is still hot. However, there seems to be no end to the fire. There have been a lot of peace talk in the region, but the conflicts still is still unresolved. In this paper, I will discuss the top three conflicts in the Middle East that stands as the biggest constraint to peace in the region. First conflict is the conflict between two islamistgroup Hamas and Fatah, second conflict is the Arab-Israeli conflict, and finally Syrian civil War.

On the other hand, the supporters of Obama’s foreign policy on Middle East, argues that the Middle East Obama inherited was literally at war along with the extremist ideology brewing throughout the region. In fact, Goldberg gives the notion that the policies and actions taken by the administration, prevented much hostile situation in the region than it exist currently. The through negotiation of Iran nuclear deal has somewhat subjected the closed Iranian government and its nuclear experiments to the international community; it was something that previous government was able to do. As for the Egyptian uprising and Hamas is concerned, he states that it was not the Obama, but the Bush administration’s failure to ensure smooth transition within the Egyptian government as well as the American involvement in the Palestinian election which brought terrorist group into the power. Although, he does believe that America should have involved more in to support earlier and modest rebel in Syria, however he also indirectly

The Arab Spring reflect to employ new idea to tackle socio-economic and political crises and that remain unsolved for decades (Foley, 2013). The government in Arab world are much more different and is risky to approach these uprising as one set of movement. Most regime in post-communist states change with elite consensus and almost no role of military except Romania, while the Arab was moved to the upper movement and military played a key role in transition process (Foley,

A transformed Middle East has shaken traditional relationships with former allies. Indeed, there was a time when Washington coordinated effectively with leaders like the monarchs Hussein, Hassan and Abdullah; or Sadat, Mubarak, even Arafat, who could deliver their constituencies and act on the Arab stage. No longer. The rise of Iran, largely as a result of the Arab world’s melt­down and the U.S.­Iran nuclear agreement, has strained relations further. And if America lacks partners on whom it can rely, how in essence can it manage problems effectively, let alone lead to resolve them?

The Middle East has always been an extremely restless region. Throughout its whole history, this region was shaken by various wars and conflicts. The beginning of the 20th century can be considered one of the most significant points in the history of this area. After the discovery of some resources, it became interesting for some greater powers of the world in economic terms. As a result, economic reasons for discord of the Arab states of this region was added to the already existing social, religious and political. The history of the influence of the economic factors of the discord and collaboration in the Middle East can be divided into two periods: pre-WW1 and post-WW1.

The Arab Spring was a series of revolutions across the Middle East and North Africa. In these revolutions, people fought for political, economic and human rights. This movement started on December 18, 2010. People protested and raised awareness because they were not being treated correctly in their own homes. These governments were very corrupt, unfair and did not-listen to what the people had to say. The people of the Middle East and North Africa were not going to stand for it. The Arab Spring was how most countries in the Middle East and North Africa were going to bring justice into the country.

Rami G. Khouri discusses his opinion on the lingering issues of the Middle East in a talk held on October 27th, at 7:00pm in the Koffler building. The room resembled more of an auditorium packed with millennials, senior citizens and age groups in between, all with their full attention on the speaker. Throughout his talk, Khouri explained how the last century has been exceptionally problematic for the Arabians due to zero political development, the Arab Israeli conflict, and the Arabian revolution. Khouri’s main argument is that there is an entirely new situation at hand due to Turkey, Iran, Israel, and Saudi Arabia currently driving the actual developments of the Middle East and the Superpowers unhelpful ways.

Even though many people agree revolutions have changed the world in a very positive way and with positive outcomes, one revolution like the Arab Spring has changed the

The Arab Spring was a Middle Eastern Anomaly that no one could have predicted. There were protests before the Arab Spring, but none created this domino effect that Tunisia had to the rest of the Arab countries. The Arab Spring protests were in the right time of both technological advancement, and economic concern, that Arab society felt unanimously encouraged and desperate enough to share their grievances on the government. Scott Anderson exclaims his enthusiasm with the Protests when they began, like most western observers looking at the Middle East with optimism. Unfortunately, that optimism was gone once the rulers fought back, or people disagreed with the democratic process. For example, In the Square movie we were shown in class on the

During this lecture Masoud discusses why certain countries are unable to progress and remain within a democratic political structure. Masoud begins his lecture by explaining what he believed would and/or could have occurred after the string of revolutionary protests that took place within the Middle East referred to as the Arab Spring. Initially, Masoud portrays himself as having a “naïve” perception of the situation within the affected regions. When the revolutions began to take place, Masoud mentioned how the revolutions began to excite the observers through the ingenuity and technological advances that have allowed young activists to spread their messages more effectively. However, those same observers had neglected to realize that the failure rates were much higher than the success

In late 2010, a tidal wave of uprisings and protests in various parts of the Arab world emerged. It began with the Tunisian revolution when the martyr Mahmoud Bouazizi set fire to himself as a result of the deteriorating economic and social. This led to protests and demonstrations that ended with the fall of the ruling regime. In Tunisia which sparked the beginning of revolutions in many Arab countries, this is known as an Arab Spring. The question remains what are the real reasons that led to the Arab Spring and its effects? the causes of the Arabic spring May be varied, depending on the places, however the reasons can be a corruption in economic policies and demand social justice as the key motives and protests in the Arab world. This essay will discuss the most important reasons, and the effects of what is known as the Arab Spring.

Although the people’s voice is being heard and changes are being made, blood flows down the streets as people are being killed violently everyday. Many people believe it would have been more beneficial if the Middle East had completely avoid the Arab Spring or at least have gone a more passive road. Through the history of the region, leaders of Arab countries have anchored their position to later become rich and

In the debate for democracy in the middle east, many scholars suggest that Islamists are the main obstacle to overcome. By the last decade, Islamist parties and candidates have engaged in elections throughout in about eight Arab countries with almost modest results. Thus, Islamist may have a heavy degree of support among most of the consitunets who agree with anti-regime sentiments. At the same time, ruling elites also give overwhelming support to maintain security and other privileges. There are regimes in which elites claim Islam as a basis for the regime while excluding all other islamist groups from political participation. For Instance, The king in Saudi Arabi is the leader, the imam of the Saudi-Wahabi community, and subordinate only to the shari’a. This is an institutional challenge that these regions face, and need to comprehend in order to have a smooth democratic transition. Some islamist groups still persist, with making domestic conflict within society, like the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Arab Spring has been a life changing phenomena, not only for the people who are attempting to overthrow their governments but for political scientists everywhere. The events originating in the North African country of Tunisia have led to the snowballing of several other Middle Eastern, predominantly Muslim, nation states. The figurative breaking point might have finally been reached as the oppressed peoples of the Middle East have risen up to overthrow long-standing dictatorial governments in hopes of revolutionary change; change that is subject to the will of the people.
