Brief:<\/b><\/p>

Marwan Muasher<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Maha Yahya<\/span><\/a> discuss the Arab world order and how four major crises influenced it during the last decade. Starting from the 2011 Arab uprisings, the 2014\u20132016 decline in oil prices, then the 2019 protests in Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon, and Sudan, and finally the Coronavirus pandemic, the foundations of the old Arab order have collapsed. The authors argue that the region\u2019s dominant authoritarian bargain\u2014public acquiescence of lavish spending by dictators in exchange for relative stability\u2014has collapsed along with oil prices. Accordingly, regional transition to stability and prosperity requires governments to respond through inclusive policies that ensure equity and equality among citizens. However, maintaining social peace could not be attained by coercion or financial incentives. Rather, the authors suggest \u2018five key strategic shifts\u2019 in the governance of the Arab world to rebuild stronger institutions and renew the social contracts. First, Arab governments have to adopt an \u201cinclusive decision-making\u201d approach to governance. Second, \u201ceducation for active citizens\u201d is a cornerstone to develop long-term prosperity of the region. Third, an economic reform from \u201cpatronage to productivity\u201d is essential for meeting the requirements of the current situation to reshape their economic models. Fourth, \u201cnurturing pluralism\u201d is critical to make use of the diversity of the Arab population\u2019s communities. Finally, \u201cembracing regional cooperation\u201d through initiating plans for political and economic cooperation is required to overcome fragmentation, conflicts, and enhance sustainable development. To sum up, Arab states need to achieve significant reforms in their political, economic, and regional systems through fundamental shifts. Although these changes seem to be tough and difficult, it is a way for the region to rebuild its new order and to properly function domestically and internationally.<\/span><\/p>
