From the podcast: after yesterday
Why has it been so difficult to build a sustainable democratic system in the Arab world, more than 6 decades after the independence of most of the Arab countries?
The decisions of Tunisian President Kais Saied, on the night of July 25, to dismiss the government, freeze the work of Parliament and assume the authority of the prosecution, surprised some and shocked others. From then on, some Tunisians did not hesitate to qualify it as a “coup” against the Tunisian constitution. With these decisions, and before that, the Egyptian coup and the continuation of the series of abortive revolutions of the Arab Spring, the question of democratic “intransigence” in the Arab world arises again.
A question which leads to other questions, such as: Why has it been so difficult to build a sustainable democratic system in the Arab world, more than 6 decades after the independence of most of the Arab countries? Why did democracy prevail in most parts of the world, including a number of countries in the Islamic world, while the map of the Arab world remained “free”? How was the democratic transition in the Arab world hampered after the Arab Spring revolutions?
Amal Al-Arissy, and his guest, Dr Mehdi Mabrouk, former Tunisian Minister of Culture, and professor of sociology, open the “dilemma” of this intransigence and discuss its questions.
