This paper by Antoni Segura analyses the transition processes unfolding in Arab countries and compares them to the Spanish experience. Very often presented as a model, the Spanish transition to democracy offers some lessons and errors to be taken into account by Southern Mediterranean countries. The author argues that the Arab countries should not try to strictly follow previous democratisation experiences because each process is based on its own historical, cultural, religious and socioeconomic conditions and on a correlation of political forces that are by nature different in every country.

Young people have been at the heart of the Arab Spring and of the 20^th February movement of Morocco. Their demands have been more democracy, social justice, transparency and accountability. This paper argues that although the social unrest is taking place in countries with very different structures, the history and context of these movements have one thing in common: young overqualified people in a precarious situation and who have become mobilized through the power of social networks.

During the Lebanon's 2005 "Independence Intifada", many observers used to refer to Lebanon as a possible model of democracy and democratization in the region. Nevertheless, the regime didn't keep its promise and the post-2005 political process never fully took off. While the region started to demand the creation of free, open and fair political systems Lebanon seemed stuck in the past. Could it really be that Lebanon has been the exception of the so-called Arab Spring?

This paper analyzes the deep-rooted problems of the prevailing political economy in the Arab region. Throughout the past two decades, neoliberal economic reforms were initiated forcefully in the development of the region. These economic reform projects, like privatization and free market economy, have substantially increased GDP growth and human development, such as access to education and healthcare. However, they have proven futile in the attainment of an equitable distribution of income, in increasing the living standards of individuals, and in alleviating poverty.After two decades of economic reform and structural adjustment projects, the overall organization of political and economic power has been conveniently manipulated by and into the hands of a few elites. The rule of law, transparency and good governance were not effectively implemented.It will be argued that subsequent Arab governments, especially in Egypt and Tunisia, are not effectively addressing the factors that have led to the wave of Arab uprisings.
