Summary/Abstract: Stable borders are one of the bases of the political order which emerged after the Second World War. Transition of the world order is characterized by transfer of sovereignty to local and supranational levels. Changes of borders in the Arab world are already taking place, as is the case with Somalia and Sudan. The prospects for further changes are taking shape in many countries. For this reason, it is called the Arab Spring as a unique name for different modes of the political changes in the MENA region. This text presents briefs on 1) the current processes that may lead to border changes in the Arab world, 2) the context within which the Arab Spring is evolving, and 3) the reason behind the inception of the Arab spring.
