First, it was coined by Western commentators, not those involved in the events. The first specific use of the term Arab Spring as used to denote these events may have started with the US political journal <a href="/wiki/Foreign_Policy" title="Foreign Policy">Foreign Policy</a>.<a href="#cite_note-massad-28">[28]</a> Political scientist <a href="/wiki/Marc_Lynch" title="Marc Lynch">Marc Lynch</a> described Arab Spring as "a term I may have unintentionally coined in a 6 January 2011 article" for Foreign Policy magazine.<a href="#cite_note-The_Arab_Uprising:_The_Unfinished_Revolutions_of_the_New_Middle_East-29">[29]</a><a href="#cite_note-lynch-30">[30]</a> Protestors involved in the events however described their own political actions as "uprising" (intifada), Arab "awakening" (sahwa) and Arab "renaissance" (nahda), using expressions like al-marar al-Arabi (the Arab bitterness), karama (dignity) and thawra (revolution).<a href="#cite_note-:0-2">[2]</a><a href="#cite_note-:1-17">[17]</a> Some authors argue that western governments, scholars and media used the term to minimise people’s revolutionary aims and discourse.<a href="#cite_note-:2-19">[19]</a><a href="#cite_note-:1-17">[17]</a><a href="#cite_note-:3-22">[22]</a> <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Massad" title="Joseph Massad">Joseph Massad</a> on <a href="/wiki/Al_Jazeera_Media_Network" title="Al Jazeera Media Network">Al Jazeera</a> said the term was "part of a US strategy of controlling the movement's aims and goals" and directing it towards Western-style <a href="/wiki/Liberal_democracy" title="Liberal democracy">liberal democracy</a>.<a href="#cite_note-massad-28">[28]</a> When Arab Spring protests in some countries were followed by electoral success for <a href="/wiki/Islamism" title="Islamism">Islamist</a> parties, some American pundits coined the terms Islamist Spring<a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a> and Islamist Winter.<a href="#cite_note-32">[32]</a> The term “Spring” further illustrates the problematic nature of projecting Western expectations onto non-Western actors and practices. The terminology follows the Western example of the <a href="/wiki/Revolutions_of_1848" title="Revolutions of 1848">Revolutions of 1848</a> referred to as “Spring of Nations” and the <a href="/wiki/Prague_Spring" title="Prague Spring">Prague Spring</a> in 1968, in which a Czech student, <a href="/wiki/Jan_Palach" title="Jan Palach">Jan Palach</a>, set himself on fire as <a href="/wiki/Mohamed_Bouazizi" title="Mohamed Bouazizi">Mohamed Bouazizi</a> did. In the aftermath of the <a href="/wiki/Iraq_War" title="Iraq War">Iraq War</a>, it was used by various commentators and bloggers who anticipated a major Arab movement towards <a href="/wiki/Democratization" title="Democratization">democratization</a>.<a href="#cite_note-33">[33]</a> The term "Arab Spring" is thus contested as it signifies an expectation that the events would replicate the example of democratic revolutions set by the West.<a href="#cite_note-:0-2">[2]</a><a href="#cite_note-:1-17">[17]</a> Lastly, the term “Arab” is contested as well as it homogenises the

past.<a href="#cite_note-59">[59]</a> Furthermore, 28% of Egyptians and 29% of Tunisians from the same poll said that blocking Facebook greatly hindered and/or disrupted communication. Social media sites were a platform for different movements formed by many frustrated citizens, including the 2008 "April 6 Youth Movement" organized by Ahmed Mahed, which set out to organize and promote a nationwide labor strike and which inspired the later creation of the "Progressive Youth of Tunisia".<a href="#cite_note-Networked-60">[60]</a> During the Arab Spring, people created <a href="/wiki/List_of_Facebook_features" title="List of Facebook features">pages</a> on Facebook to raise awareness about alleged crimes against humanity, such as police brutality in the Egyptian Revolution (see <a href="/wiki/Wael_Ghonim" title="Wael Ghonim">Wael Ghonim</a> and <a href="/wiki/Death_of_Khaled_Mohamed_Saeed" class="mw-redirect" title="Death of Khaled Mohamed Saeed">Death of Khaled Mohamed Saeed</a>).<a href="#cite_note-61">[61]</a> Whether the project of raising awareness was primarily pursued by Arabs themselves or simply advertised by Western social media users is a matter of debate. Jared Keller, a journalist for <a href="/wiki/The_Atlantic" title="The Atlantic">The Atlantic</a>, claims that most activists and protesters used Facebook (among other social media) to organize; however, what influenced Iran was "good old-fashioned word of mouth". Jared Keller argued that the sudden and anomalous social media output was caused from Westerners witnessing the situation(s), and then broadcasting them. The Middle East and North Africa used texting, emailing, and blogging only to organize and communicate information about internal local protests.<a href="#cite_note-62">[62]</a> A study by <a href="/wiki/Zeynep_Tufekci" title="Zeynep Tufekci">Zeynep Tufekci</a> of the University of North Carolina and Christopher Wilson of the United Nations Development Program concluded that "social media in general, and Facebook in particular, provided new sources of information the regime could not easily control and were crucial in shaping how citizens made individual decisions about participating in protests, the logistics of protest, and the likelihood of success."<a href="#cite_note-Arab_Spring_2013-63">[63]</a> Marc Lynch of George Washington University said, "while social media boosters envisioned the creation of a new public sphere based on dialogue and mutual respect, the reality is that Islamists and their adversaries retreat to their respective camps, reinforcing each other's prejudices while throwing the occasional rhetorical bomb across the no-man's land that the center has become."<a href="#cite_note-Arab_Spring_2013-63">[63]</a> Lynch also stated in a Foreign Policy article, "There is something very different about scrolling through pictures and videos of unified, chanting Yemeni or Egyptian crowds demanding democratic change and waking up to a gory image of a headless 6-year-old girl on your Facebook news feed."<a href="#cite_note-64">[64]</a> In the months leading up to events in Tunisia, <a href="/wiki/Department_of_Homeland_Security" class="mw-redirect" title="Department of Homeland Security">Department of Homeland Security</a>, <a href="/wiki/U.S._Customs_and_Border_Protection" title="U.S. Customs and Border Protection">Customs and Border Protection</a>, Communications Program Manager Jonathan Stevens predicted the use of "collaborative Internet utilities" to effect governmental change.

In the countries with the lowest Internet penetration and the limited role of social networks, such as <a href="/wiki/Yemen" title="Yemen">Yemen</a> and <a href="/wiki/Libya" title="Libya">Libya</a>, the role of mainstream electronic media devices—cellular phones, emails, and video clips (e.g., <a href="/wiki/YouTube" title="YouTube">YouTube</a>)—was very important to cast the light on the situation in the country and spread the word about the protests in the outside world.<a href="#cite_note-Stepanova-52">[52]</a> In <a href="/wiki/Egypt" title="Egypt">Egypt</a>, in <a href="/wiki/Cairo" title="Cairo">Cairo</a> particularly, <a href="/wiki/Mosque" title="Mosque">mosques</a> were one of the main platforms to coordinate the protest actions and raise awareness to the masses.<a href="#cite_note-Demidov-66">[66]</a> Conversely, scholarship literature on the Middle East, political scientist Gregory Gause has found, had failed to predict the events of the Arab uprisings. Commenting on an early article by Gause whose review of a decade of Middle Eastern studies led him to conclude that almost no scholar foresaw what was coming, Chair of Ottoman and Turkish Studies at Tel Aviv University Ehud R. Toledano writes that Gause's finding is "a strong and sincere mea culpa" and that his criticism of Middle East experts for "underestimating the hidden forces driving change ... while they worked instead to explain the unshakable stability of repressive authoritarian regimes" is well-placed. Toledano then quotes Gause saying, "As they wipe the egg off their faces," those experts "need to reconsider long-held assumptions about the Arab world."<a href="#cite_note-67">[67]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Timeline">Timeline</h2></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Timeline_of_the_Arab_Spring" title="Timeline of the Arab Spring">Timeline of the Arab Spring</a></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Events_leading_up_to_the_Arab_Spring">Events leading up to the Arab Spring</h3></div> <a href="/wiki/Tunisia" title="Tunisia">Tunisia</a> experienced a series of conflicts during the three years leading up to the Arab Spring, the most notable occurring in the mining area of <a href="/wiki/Gafsa" title="Gafsa">Gafsa</a> in 2008, where protests continued for many months.

Countries with stronger civil society networks in various forms underwent more successful reforms during the Arab Spring; these findings are also consistent with more general social science theories such as those espoused by <a href="/wiki/Robert_D._Putnam" title="Robert D. Putnam">Robert D. Putnam</a> and <a href="/wiki/Joel_S._Migdal" title="Joel S. Migdal">Joel S. Migdal</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Strong_Societies_and_Weak_States-331">[331]</a><a href="#cite_note-Bowling_Alone-332">[332]</a> One of the primary influences that have been highlighted in the analysis of the Arab Spring is the relative strength or weakness of a society's formal and informal <a href="/wiki/Institution" title="Institution">institutions</a> prior to the revolts. When the Arab Spring began, Tunisia had an established infrastructure and a lower level of petty corruption than did other states, such as Libya.<a href="#cite_note-Demystifying_the_Arab_Spring-326">[326]</a> This meant that, following the overthrow of the existing regime, there was less work to be done in reforming Tunisian institutions than elsewhere, and consequently it was less difficult to transition to and consolidate a democratic system of government.<a href="#cite_note-Reconsidering_the_Robustness_of_Authoritarianism_in_the_Middle_East-329">[329]</a><a href="#cite_note-333">[333]</a> Also crucial was the degree of state censorship over print, broadcast, and social media in different countries. Television coverage by channels like <a href="/wiki/Al_Jazeera_Media_Network" title="Al Jazeera Media Network">Al Jazeera</a> and <a href="/wiki/BBC_News" title="BBC News">BBC News</a> provided worldwide exposure and prevented mass violence by the Egyptian government in Tahrir Square, contributing to the success of the Egyptian Revolution. In other countries, such as Libya, Bahrain, and Syria, such international press coverage was not present to the same degree, and the governments of these countries were able to act more freely in suppressing the protests.<a href="#cite_note-334">[334]</a><a href="#cite_note-YEAR_IN_PICTURES:_Arab_Spring-335">[335]</a> Strong authoritarian regimes with high degrees of censorship in their national broadcast media were able to block communication and prevent the domestic spread of information necessary for successful protests. Countries with greater access to social media, such as Tunisia and Egypt, proved more effective in mobilizing large groups of people, and appear to have been more successful overall than those with greater state control over media.<a href="#cite_note-What_Explains_Successful_Protest_Cascades?-328">[328]</a><a href="#cite_note-The_Revolutions_Were_Tweeted-336">[336]</a><a href="#cite_note-Role_of_the_New_Media_in_the_Arab_Spring-337">[337]</a> Although social media played a large role in shaping the events of revolutions social activism did not occur in a vacuum.

Countries like Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, exhibited a strong mobilization of military force against protesters, effectively ending the revolts in their territories; others, including Libya and Syria, failed to stop the protests entirely and instead ended up in civil war.<a href="#cite_note-The_Arab_Spring_Revisited-327">[327]</a> The support of the military in Arab Spring protests has also been linked to the degree of ethnic homogeneity in different societies. In Saudi Arabia and Syria, where the ruling elite was closely linked with ethnic or religious subdivisions of society, the military sided with the existing regime and took on the ostensible role of protector to minority populations.<a href="#cite_note-Why_Middle_East_Studies_Missed_the_Arab_Spring-344">[344]</a> The presence of a strong, educated middle class has been noted as a correlate to the success of the Arab Spring in different countries.<a href="#cite_note-Why_was_the_Arab_World_Poised_for_Revolution?-345">[345]</a> Countries with strong welfare programs and a weak middle class, such as Saudi Arabia and Jordan, as well as countries with great economic disparity and an impoverished working class—including Yemen, Libya, and Morocco—did not experience successful revolutions. The strength of the middle class is, in turn, directly connected to the existing political, economic, and educational institutions in a country, and the middle class itself may be considered an informal institution.<a href="#cite_note-Institutions_as_a_Fundamental_Cause_of_Long-Run_Growth-346">[346]</a> In very broad terms, this may be reframed in terms of development, as measured by various indicators such as the <a href="/wiki/Human_Development_Index" title="Human Development Index">Human Development Index</a>: <a href="/wiki/Rentier_state" title="Rentier state">rentier states</a> such as the oil monarchies of the Persian Gulf exhibited less successful revolutions overall.<a href="#cite_note-347">[347]</a> Charting what he calls the 'new masses' of the twenty-first century, Sociologist Göran Therborn draws attention to the historical contradictory role of the middle class.

In his 1993 sociological study of the Arab societies, culture and state, Barakat stated confidently that "one should expect the first Arab popular revolution to take place in Egypt or Tunisia. This does not, however, exclude the possibility that revolutions may occur in more pluralistic societies as well."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBarakat199315–17-368">[368]</a> What was prevalent, according to the Syrian writer and political dissident <a href="/wiki/Yassin_al-Haj_Saleh" title="Yassin al-Haj Saleh">Yassin al-Haj Saleh</a> was three 'springs' that ensured the status quo. One of which was a "spring of despotic states that receive assistance and legitimacy from a world system centered around stability".<a href="#cite_note-369">[369]</a> Most democracy protests do not result in reforms.<a href="#cite_note-370">[370]</a> Two months into the Tunisian and Egyptian uprisings, <a href="/wiki/The_Economist" title="The Economist">The Economist</a> magazine in a leader article spoke about a new generation of young people, idealists, "inspired by democracy", which made revolutions. Those revolutions, the article stated, "are going the right way, with a hopeful new mood prevailing and free elections in the offing".<a href="#cite_note-371">[371]</a> For those on the streets of Egypt the predominant slogan was "bread, freedom and social justice".<a href="#cite_note-372">[372]</a> Some observers, however, have questioned the revolutionary nature of the 'Arab Spring'. A social theorist specialising in social movements and social change in the Middle East, <a href="/wiki/Asef_Bayat" title="Asef Bayat">Asef Bayat</a>, has provided an analysis based on his decades-long of research as "a participant-observer" (in his own words). In his appraisal of the Arab revolutions, Bayat discerns a remarkable difference between these revolutions and the revolutions of the 1960s and 1970s in countries like Yemen, <a href="/wiki/Nicaragua" title="Nicaragua">Nicaragua</a> and Iran. The Arab revolutions, argues Bayat, "lacked any associated intellectual anchor" and the predominant voices, "secular and Islamists alike, took free market, property relations, and neoliberal rationality for granted" and uncritically.<a href="#cite_note-Bayat-373">[373]</a> New social movements' define themselves as horizontal networks with aversion to the state and central authority. Thus their "political objective is not to capture the state", a fundamental feature in the twentieth-century revolutionary movements.<a href="#cite_note-374">[374]</a> Instead of revolution or reform, Bayat speaks of 'refolution'.<a href="#cite_note-375">[375]</a> <a href="/wiki/Wael_Ghonim" title="Wael Ghonim">Wael Ghonim</a>, an Internet activist who would later gain an international fame, acknowledged that what he had intended by founding a Facebook page was a "simple reaction to the events in Tunisia" and that "there was no master plans or strategies" a priori.<a href="#cite_note-376">[376]</a> That the objective was reform to be achieved through peaceful means and not revolution was explicitly put forward by <a href="/wiki/April_6_Movement" class="mw-redirect" title="April 6 Movement">April 6 Movement</a>, one of the leading forces of the Egyptian uprising, in their statements. It called for "coalition and co-operation between all factions and national forces to reach the reform and the peaceful change of the conditions of Egypt".<a href="#cite_note-377">[377]</a> "Even in Tahrir Square with so many people and the rising level of demands," recalls an activist in the movement, "we were very surprised by the people wanting the downfall of the regime; and not a single one of us had expected this."<a href="#cite_note-378">[378]</a> In comparing the uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Syria, researcher Housam Darwisheh concludes: "The Egyptian uprising, in neither dismantling the ancien regime nor creating new institutional mechanisms to lead the transition, permitted the so-called 'deep state' to reassert itself while the deepening polarization led many non-Islamists to side with the military against the MB [the Muslim Brotherhood]."<a href="#cite_note-379">[379]</a> According to Cambridge sociologist Hazem Kandil, the <a href="/wiki/Muslim_Brotherhood" title="Muslim Brotherhood">Muslim Brotherhood</a> did not aim at taking power during the events leading up to the toppling of Mubarak. The biggest and most organised organisation in Egypt in fact negotiated with the regime in "infamous talks between <a href="/wiki/Morsi" class="mw-redirect" title="Morsi">Morsi</a> and the then vice-president <a href="/wiki/Omar_Suleiman_(politician)" title="Omar Suleiman (politician)">Omar Suleiman</a>", and "an informal deal was reached: withdraw your members from Tahrir Square, and we allow you to form a political party."

But the Brothers managed to persuade over 70 per cent of the voters, so it became clear to the military that they had far more sway on the street than the secular revolutionaries who had brought down Mubarak, yet seemed incapable of much organization once they had done so. For SCAF, the priority was to bring the street under control, so it decided to start working with the Brotherhood to stabilize the country.<a href="#cite_note-380">[380]</a></blockquote> George Lawson from the <a href="/wiki/London_School_of_Economics" title="London School of Economics">London School of Economics</a> places the Arab uprisings within the post-Cold War world. He characterises the uprisings as "largely unsuccessful revolution" and that they "bare a family resemblance to the 'negotiated revolutions'...

Although Egyptian intellectuals enjoyed a bigger margin of freedom than their counterparts in Tunisia, cultural figures sought protection from political players, and instead of leading criticism, they complied.<a href="#cite_note-383">[383]</a> The post-Cold War era saw the emergence of the idea and practice of gradual reform and liberal agenda. It saw an influx of humanitarian projects, <a href="/wiki/NGOs" class="mw-redirect" title="NGOs">NGOs</a> and charity work, liberal <a href="/wiki/Think_tanks" class="mw-redirect" title="Think tanks">think tanks</a> and emphasis on <a href="/wiki/Civil_society" title="Civil society">civil society</a> work. This new juncture seemed to have made the idea and prospect of revolution an outdated project. The focus instead shifted to individual freedoms and <a href="/wiki/Free_market" title="Free market">free market</a>. The new idea of <a href="/wiki/Civil_society" title="Civil society">civil society</a> was different from the kind of civil society <a href="/wiki/Antonio_Gramsci" title="Antonio Gramsci">Antonio Gramsci</a>, for instance, envisaged: 'a revolution before the revolution'. In her field study in Yemen, anthropologist Bogumila Hall depicts the effects of what she terms as "the marketization of civil society and its heavy reliance on donors", which "led to a largely depoliticized form of activism that by passed, rather than confronted, the state". Hall, with her focus on the muhammashīn (the marginalized) in Yemen, described how in the 1990s and 2000s international NGOs established charity projects and workshops "to teach slum dwellers new skills and behaviours". But, besides the "modest changes" brought by the NGOs, concludes Hall, "delegating the problem of the muhammashīn to the realm of development and poverty alleviation, without addressing the structural causes underlying their marginalisation, had a depoliticising effect. It led to a widely held assumption, also shared by the muhammashīn, that ending marginalisation was a matter for experts and administrative measures, not politics."<a href="#cite_note-384">[384]</a> When Arab regimes viewed NGOs' leaders and other similar organisations with suspicion, accusing Western governments of providing funding and training to 'illegal organisations' and fomenting revolution, diplomatic cables reported "how American officials frequently assured skeptical governments that the training was aimed at reform, not promoting revolutions".<a href="#cite_note-385">[385]</a> And when the Egyptian uprising was gaining its momentum, the American president <a href="/wiki/Barack_Obama" title="Barack Obama">Barack Obama</a> "did not suggest that the 82-year-old leader step aside or transfer power... the argument was that he really needed to do the reforms, and do them fast.

In Algeria under pressure of weeks of protests, the head of the army forced the ailing twenty-year-serving president, <a href="/wiki/Abdelaziz_Bouteflika" title="Abdelaziz Bouteflika">Abdelaziz Bouteflika</a>, to abdicate.

Despite the "faded spirit of Tahrir Square" and an outcome that Khoury describes as a "monarchy that abrogates legal standards", a renaissance of resistance is unstoppable: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote">The defeat of the Arab Spring has seemed likely to extinguish this glimmer of hope, to return the Arab world to the tyrannical duopoly of military and oil and to crush the will of the people in the struggle between Sunni and Shia, between Saudi Arabia and Iran.

If the Arab world has reached rock bottom, it canʹt go any lower and it canʹt last forever.<a href="#cite_note-389">[389]</a></blockquote> There was a need, suggested Khoury, to turn "the uprisings of the Arab Spring into an intellectual, political and moral project that gives meaning to the goals of freedom, democracy and social justice". From the outset the 2011 Arab uprisings raised the banner of 'social justice'. The concept, what it means and how to achieve it has been a major subject of discussion and contention since then. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/October_2019_Iraqi_protests" class="mw-redirect" title="October 2019 Iraqi protests">October 2019 Iraqi protests</a></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Social_justice">Social justice</h3></div> In its economic and social manifesto, the Tunisian <a href="/wiki/Ennahda_Movement" class="mw-redirect" title="Ennahda Movement">Ennahda Movement</a> states that the movement "adopts the social and solidarised market economy within a national approach based on free economic activity, freedom of ownership, production and administration on the one hand, and social justice and equal opportunities on the other hand" and that "national capital has to be the axis in the development process."<a href="#cite_note-390">[390]</a> The <a href="/wiki/Muslim_Brotherhood_in_Egypt" title="Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt">Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt</a> mainly focuses on "reform of existing political systems in the Arab world.

Some observers and social analysts remarked, however, that the issue of <a href="/wiki/Social_justice" title="Social justice">social justice</a> remained a rhetoric or was marginalised. According to Fathi Al-Shamikhi, an expert in debt issues and founder of the Tunisian association RAID, different social forces played a crucial role in matters related to social demands and achieving social justice. "This role varies between those who advocate these demands and those who reject them, according to the social nature of each of these forces."<a href="#cite_note-393">[393]</a> "Bread, freedom and social justice" were the main slogans of the Arab revolutions.

Kabalan contended that "regional and world powers have sponsored the return of military dictatorships to the region, with the hope that they would clean up the Arab Spring 'mess' and restore order." He also referred to Western powers' history of backing <a href="/wiki/Military_dictatorship" title="Military dictatorship">military rule</a> in the region, and how American interests in the Middle East clashed with French and British ones. He cited the U.S.-supported coups in Syria and Egypt, but generally how, as former U.S. Secretary of State <a href="/wiki/Condoleezza_Rice" title="Condoleezza Rice">Condoleezza Rice</a> admitted, the United States "pursued stability at the expense of democracy... and achieved neither."

Ottaway points to the experiences of Algeria and Egypt; in the former, the regime annulled the results of the elections in the early 1990s, and in the latter, the military carried out a bloody

Yemen's Economic Council – a state advisory body composed of cabinet members – said the militants looted the central bank in Hodeidah city and were delaying the fuel and food that arrive at the Hodeidah port.
