Current Arab Spring: A Wave of Democratic Revolution in the Arab World
Abstract
This study aims to explore the causes and motives behind the Arab Uprising. Arab Spring was a wave of protests against the long-term authoritarian rulers of the approximate Arab countries. People of those countries were being deprived from their fundamental rights and went against their rulers. This study is qualitative in nature and secondary sources are used to analyze. It is observed that the social crisis, global economic crisis, unemployment, youth bulge, lack of education and democracy, political slavery and economic inequalities, discrimination against ethnic and religious minorities, and the Self immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi were the major causes of the stir in Middle East. This study recommends free, fair and continuous electoral process, modern education, rule of law and economic development in the region. The law enforcement agencies must be under the law and the continuous state of emergencies in these states should be lifted.
