  • Political Participation and Democratic Transition in the Arab World
    03_KHATIB (DO NOT DELETE) 4/9/2013 3:46 PM POLITICAL PARTICIPATION AND DEMOCRATIC TRANSITION IN THE ARAB WORLD LINA KHATIB* 1. INTRODUCTION The Arab Spring has brought about a fundamental change in the dynamics of political participation in the Arab world. Under the authoritarian systems in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Syria, and other Arab countries, formal political participation was largely restricted to regime-affiliated party activity, co-opted civil society participation, or voting in nontransparent and often fraudulent elections. Informal political participation, through social networks, underground political movements, and social movements, was often the only way for citizens to challenge their regimes.1 Although the Arab Spring did not completely reverse this trend across Arab countries, it has brought, at an astonishing speed, a number of key improvements that facilitate formal political participation, particularly in Egypt and Tunisia. But there are also a number of important challenges, old and new, facing formal political participation in the Arab world in this era of democratic transition. The aim of this Article is to map out the key opportunities and challenges for political participation post-Arab Spring, and the way forward for formal political participation in the region as it negotiates democratic transition. 2. POLITICAL PARTICIPATION AND DEMOCRATIC TRANSITION Political participation and democratic transition are tightly linked. Not only is viable transition dependent on viable political participation, the way forward for political participation is also * Lina Khatib heads the Program on Arab Reform and Democracy at Stanford University’s Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law. The author thanks Ahmed Elsisi and Elizabeth Buckner for their assistance with researching this Article.
