The Arab Spring and the Causes of Political Upheavals in Arab Countries

Öz

Abstract This article examines the Arab Spring as one of the most significant political processes that reshaped the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East and North Africa in the early twenty-first century. It analyzes the principal causes of political upheavals in Arab countries through internal, regional, and external factors, with particular attention to authoritarian governance, prolonged concentration of power, corruption, nepotism, and the suppression of civil liberties. The article further examines the economic foundations of the uprisings, including unemployment, poverty, unequal distribution of national wealth, and the consequences of the 2008-2009 global financial crisis, alongside the mobilizing role of demographic pressure, youth activism, and social media. The influence of geopolitical interests, including the policies of the United States, the European Union, Turkey, Russia, and Iran, as well as energy projects and regional rivalries, is also assessed. Comparing Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Bahrain, and Morocco, the study shows that the Arab Spring did not follow a uniform trajectory, with outcomes shaped less by spontaneous mobilization than by the interaction of domestic crises, regional conflicts, and external intervention.
