About Arab Spring

The long-term political, social, and economic ramifications of these revolutions remain to be seen, but there is much to study in the factors that led to these large-scale people’s movements, and the intended and unintended consequences as countries across the region seek democratic reforms.

The Tunisians were the first to break the barrier of fear, which had avoided protests before, over worsening economic, social and political conditions
