The Arab Spring, which began in December 2010, mobilized the Arab masses
to depose once-uncontestable autocratic rulers. Many observers predicted that
this regional uprising would move the Arab world from autocracy to democracy
in no time. However, the present scenario speaks to the contrary. Although
many are struggling to understand its long-term effects, one thing is
certain: This ongoing event has engendered a significant change in the people’s
sociopolitical awareness. Consequently, many writers have approached
it from various social, political, economic, and religious aspects.
