Summary/Abstract: The Arab nationalism has grown since the last part of the Ottoman Empire. However, in the second half of the last century, in the Arab world we could talk about an explosion of pan-Arabism events. The Arab leaders, as Nasser and Muammar Gaddafi, promoting pan-Arab ideology, made Arab states unions, demonstrating that pan-Arab nationalism was more than just ideology. Although the “Arab Spring” has not failed to revitalise pan-Arab movement, we believe that, in the future, when it will be more democracy in Arab countries, there will be Arab leaders who will update pan-Arab ideology and try to achieve unity of Arab peoples, using the EU model.
