| Summary/Abstract |
THE ONGOING UNREST IN ARAB COUNTRIES has been at the center of international attention for months. The "Arab spring" has a different color in each Middle Eastern and North African country. Nevertheless, the causes of crisis are similar in each country. They include unsolved domestic problems such as the lack of legal and clear mechanisms of power rotation that would be accepted by society; economic and political stagnation; poverty (absolute or relative) of the overwhelming majority of the population despite the enormous incomes of the political elite; corruption; and unemployment. These crises are interdependent to a certain extent, which has led people to compare them to a "domino effect.
