Corruption and the “Arab spring” As one of the main elements leading to revolutions

Corruption in the Arab world in general and in the “Arab spring” countries in particular is one of the most important hidden elements led to revolutions and uprisings. The accumulated different types of corruption made the Arab societies hopeless and pushed them to lose faith in the capabilities of their regimes/governments to achieve the economic and social justice, as those regimes and the small category benefiting from them are the main cause of corruption. Therefore, fighting corruption requires the willingness of the state with clear structural systems and regulations in the states’ institutions. In addition, is needed a comprehensive plan at the short, medium and long term.
