Democracy in The Middle East

Imposing liberal democracy in a foreign country, especially in the Middle East does not necessarily bring peace because of its cultural and geographical environment. From the perspective of Westernization, we can relate the essence of democracy to peace, but the history of international relations and theory continues to show that this is certainly not the case. Democratic peace theory itself includes weaknesses and weaknesses as it relies on "random logic" (Layne 1994, Pg.

"I want to achieve peace and democracy in the Middle East" Protests in the Middle East have raised great concern from people all over the world. A revolutionary image that opened the door to democracy is in the hearts of most people. But the cost of democracy was that it is still a face of bloodshed and loses its innocent life. Thousands of civilians have lost their lives since the beginning of the so-called Arab Spring. According to the UN human rights manager, in Syria alone, 93,000 people are killed in civil war (Jolly, 2013).

According to the democratic index survey of 2016, Israel (29th in the world) is the only democracy in the Middle East and Tunisia (69th in the world) is the only democracy in North Africa. The highest scoring Middle East and North African countries such as the Freedom House and various other degrees of freedom indices as well as Israel, Tunisia, Turkey, Lebanon, Morocco, Kuwait, etc. have published standards for democratic standards around the world. Occasionally the countries classified as partially democratic are Egypt and Iraq. The rest of the Middle East is classified as the authoritarian regime with the lowest scores in Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

In this article we will explore whether the Middle East can become a democratic region. Several democratic success and failure models of various developing countries have been used as case studies to establish papers for the Middle East. In short, the Middle East shows the ability to establish and maintain democracy from an economic and social point of view. For inference and verification of this hypothesis, its disadvantages are included in the next paragraph. Finally, in the long run, there is a reason that democracy is the right step towards the political, social and economic development of the Middle East.
