    New Middle East | 1 - 3 |


    Eric Davis  Translation: Ahmed al-Zubaidi 

    The paradox of those that accompanied theArab Spring. For the first time Arab citizens ataste of freedom. And most of all, they knew what it means to break the "barrier of fear."Was a happy moment, but the irony is that this did not result in the achievement ofdemocratic reforms he sought Protesters it . Is it really the failure of the Arab Spring, as many analysts concluded? More importantly, what are the effects left by the authoritarian regimes in the Middle East? He was one of theresults of the Arab Spring is to put an end to tyranny as we have known since the fifties of the twentieth century. We have entered a new era can be called the era of " the end of the tyrants , " the name is no longer any than these tyrants are safe in his reign. No longer any authoritarian leader, both Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in Egypt, or the governor of Syria , Bashar al - Assad, or the governor of Sudan 's Omar al - Bashir, or Saudi King Salman, or Ayatollah Khamenei in Iran, has the self - confidence and be able confidence to provide a vision for the future of his country. Instead of therefore, these rulers are increasingly relies on brute force and repression, using skin styles, torture and executions, imprisonment and the expansion of the monitoring websites. These systems to the ideology of its own lacks. There is no ideological secular tyranny that prevailed in pre - Arab Spring, nor the Islamic ideology - whether it is the ideology of the Wahhabi Sunnis in Saudi Arabia, or the Shiite state in Iran , led by the Supreme Leader - which has become sterile and hollow too, promise a bright future. The impact that behind it the Arab spring indicates beyond any doubt that democracy began closer to come to fruition in the Arab world or the broader Middle East, and that tyrants ability to continue in power throughout the Middle East the way to ensure that their interests are fade. And more than that, it indicates that the Arab world and the broader Middle East could see a lot of unrest and political instability in the coming decades. What caused the end of the era of tyrants? I will give five arguments to explain why it could not defend traditional forms of authoritarian rule. This group of five arguments do not consist of variables and factors separate from each other, but they are interrelated. And therefore they need to be combined and integrated as part of a comprehensive interpretation. The first variable is the fragmentation ideological that hit the Arab world and the broader Middle East, regimes authoritarian is no longer able to provide the legitimacy of convincing to its rule, and now reveal is expanding day after day for what they are - and brutal regimes, corrupt and repressive serve the interests of a small group of the population. the second factor is the lack of political institutions that are working to achieve broad participation in the authority and accountability, transparency and the rule of law. Instead, the ruling regimes in the Middle East is very individual. Even they do not, according to the Constitution of the formal state isworking In addition, the State has failed institutions in the provision of social services, education, and security of individuals. The third factor is the decline in economic growth. This factor is composed of three elements, first, that the Arab Spring had a negative impact on foreign direct investment by undermining the confidence of investors in large parts of the Middle East. In 2011 the investment volume reached 666 investment projects , the total Akiemha 27 billion euros, the lowest level investment since 2004. in 2012, the volume ofinvestments rose to 37 billion euros, but this rate of no more than foreign direct investment rate in 2005. Second, the increase in the size of corruption throughout the Middle East since the Arab spring starting point, thirdly, most systems have sought in the Middle East to "liberate" their economies, but this did not lead to thespread of free markets, but led instead to cut spending and subsidies on food and means of energy in order to attract foreign investors. the fourth factor that caused undermine authoritarian rule is the end of themonopoly of information by the state, and the proliferation of new forms of media, ranging from the spread of satellite channels like Al - Jazeera, which is now dealing with political and social issues were considered until then a taboo, to the spread of satellite television and social media, which flooded the citizens in Middle East informative and gave them the opportunity to obtain information that was previously prohibited. Finally, the increase in "preparing young people" among the population in most Middle Eastern countries, where large numbers of them are not able to find suitable employment, has created a great discontent, 70 % of thepopulation in many Middle Eastern countries are under the age of thirty, that the lack of young people 's ability to get a good education, find a suitable job and express themselves freely has provided " an ideal environment" for engaging in criminal and extremist organizations, thereby enhancing the instability in theregion . And thereby exacerbating all these regional challenges faced by the dictators in the Middle East is thelast downturn in the global market as a result of the collapse of oil prices. (Continued)
