Ortadoğu Ve Kuzey Afrika Ülkelerinde Siyasi, Ekonomik Ve Sosyal Dönüşüm
Political, Economic and Social Transformation in the Middle Eastern and North African Countries

Summary/Abstract: Fall of the regimes in Tunisia and Egypt have impacted all the other Arab countries and commenced a period of change in the Middle East and North Africa. Alterations in the internal dynamics of the region and in the perceptions and future projections of the western countries have taken effect in this change. Identity politics which was implemented after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and economic troubles have taken place among the leading motives of the latest developments. The rapid increase of young population and poverty in the region, police state practices and human rights abuses, etc. have constituted the regional dynamics of the change. The fact that the radical movements in the region attained dangerous dimensions and increase in the needs of the western countries to liberal markets and investment areas have led the western countries to call for democracy for the countries of the region. In the coming period, quest for qualified democracies and interaction among the countries of the region will increase; activities of Egypt and Turkey in the region will reach to an ultimate level, Israel will be forced to review its current policies, relations between the West and the countries of the region will be redefined.
