Why is it important?
The results of our study indicate that these changes positively affect implementation of democratic principles, the struggle against corruption and economic growth. We examined also the case of the Arab spring countries focusing on the main political and socio-economic challenges and most importantly the religious challenge which is a characteristic of these countries
Perspectives
Political transition cannot be but beneficial for installing democracy, fighting corruption and improving economic growth in the short-term as shown by the case of all countries that underwent democratic transitions and which lacked the religion variable that characterizes Arab countries. To overcome the challenge, the role of women turns out to be very important. Women’s power could be the best solution against religious authoritarian regimes.
