On Arab Dictatorships
August 27th, 2008 by Adam
Khalil Al-Anani writes in the Daily News Egypt that the nature of authoritarian regimes in the Arab world differs from authoritarian systems in other countries in that Arab regimes exacerbate the economic and social conditions that lead to sectarianism and instability. Al-Aanani says that Arab authoritarian states lack institutions to defuse social tensions and grant the government legitimacy, and rely on coercive force. This tendency, according to Al-Anani, causes, “…political arrogance, economic injustice and social oppression, thus leading to tension between different classes and increasing rates of instability.”
