From Authoritarianism to People Power in the Middle East and North Africa Implications for Economic Inclusion and Equity Eva Bellin The past 14 months have constituted a period of enormous political excitement in the Middle East and North Africa. Starting in December 2010, this region, long ranked as the most persistently authoritarian in the world and characterized by years of political stasis, was seized by a tsunami of popular protest. The political repercussions have been momentous. In the course of one year, this wave of popular mobilization succeeded in jettisoning dictatorships in four Arab countries (Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Yemen), forced political reforms in several others (Morocco and Jordan), and placed the survival of still other authoritarian regimes (most notably that of Syria) in serious jeopardy.
