AB  - Well over a year into the process, the “Arab Spring” still poses a complex puzzle. The Arab Awakening has proved to be a historically unprecedented political season for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, both domestically and globally. Upheavals in early 2011 facilitated crucial democratic transitions in a number of countries, giving voice to long repressed societal demands and political movements. Also, the removal of authoritarian regimes in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya as well as massive revolts in Syria and Yemen altered deeply rooted geopolitical imbalances and injected unprecedented, and still largely unforeseeable dynamism both in the region and beyond. Large parts of the Arab world seem to have been touched by the winds of change; tangible outcome in terms of consolidated new order, however, remains scarce. Old leaders have been washed away, but many of the structural weaknesses and clientele structures prevail for the time being.
