Abstract
Seen as a whole, in spite of its undeniable potential, the Arab world lags far behind in terms of development. Among the factors that help explain this worrying panorama is, on the one hand, the shared responsibility of Western governments who have been committed to stability at all costs for decades, interested primarily in guaranteeing their energy security, even if this meant violating their own values and principles. On the other hand, it is the result of the will of local rulers who are characterised primarily by their authoritarianism, inefficiency and corruption, focused primarily on seeking continued benefits for themselves, with their backs turned on a largely young population that aspires to lead a dignified life. With no substantial change in trend to be expected in the short term, the so-called ‘Arab spring’ is the most recent indicator of the weariness of the more than 400 million Arabs.
