Summary
This research project focuses on the unrest brought by the Arab Spring to the Middle East, and aims to reveal the actual state of the political structure constructed by the non-state actors, which have gained power amid the unrest, and major political actors of the countries that have become “weak states.” Specifically, it pays particular attention to the political movement in the Arab East countries and clarifies the relationship between the non-state actors and the organizations, which have led the politics in these countries within the existing state framework such as the army, security agencies, political parties and political organizations, and NGOs, as well as revealing the influence that such a relationship has on the political and social stability of the region.
