ARAB-TRANS: Political and Social Transformations in the Arab World
This project aims to compare seven Arab countries – Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Jordan and Iraq – to consider the root causes, evolution and future of the Arab Revolution. “We hope to discover whether long-term democratisation can co-exist in societies with a dominant Islamic population, and whether the ‘oil curse’ of autocratic regimes with massive natural resources can be replaced by the concept of ‘oil-rich democracy’,” Professor Haerpfer says.
