The Arab Spring, heralded as a beacon of democratic promise in the tumultuous landscape of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), has instead unleashed a maelstrom of political upheaval, teetering on the knife-edge between democratization and the resurgence of authoritarian rule. This groundbreaking doctoral inquiry plunges headlong into the labyrinthine political dynamics unfurling in the wake of the Arab Spring, poised to disentangle the clandestine forces shaping divergent trajectories towards governance across the region. With an unyielding focus sharpened by a multidisciplinary arsenal drawn from the arsenal of political science, this study scrutinizes the geopolitical chessboard, dissects the socio-economic fault lines, and exposes the ideological fault lines that have molded the contours of power in post-revolutionary MENA. Through an unwavering commitment to meticulous analysis and the judicious application of qualitative and quantitative methodologies, this research endeavors to forge a formidable understanding of the indelible imprints and seismic reverberations of the Arab Spring on the political landscape of the MENA region. Its ultimate quest: to furnish policymakers, scholars, and stakeholders with the indispensable insights necessary to navigate the treacherous waters of post-revolutionary politics in the Arab world.
