Abstract
In this talk, Nabli provides a broad perspective and a comprehensive view about the origins and causes of the New Arab Awakening. He suggests that in order to understand the Arab Spring or New Arab Awakening, we need to place it in the long historical context of the political and economic developments at least since the 1950's or the post-independence era. A review of the various stages of the political, social and economic experience will be presented with its successes and failures. Nabli also suggests using the analogy with financial crises and distinguish between vulnerabilities and immediate triggers in order to understand the recent events and how they varied across countries including contagion and different outcomes.
