After the Arab Spring: what’s changed?
European Union Institute for Security Studies May 2017 1
When the Arab Spring occurred in 2011, many observers both in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and Europe, saw the popular uprisings as a chance to enact region-wide reforms and advance towards more accountable, democratic and economically sus-tainable societies. However, today the overall picture in the region looks bleak: most of the main factors contributing to popular dissat-isfaction – including repressive political landscapes, and high levels of violence and unemployment – are worsening to varying degrees.
Compiled by: Julia Lisiecka, Junior Analyst at the EUISS.
In the light of the Arab Spring, the European Union and its member states re-defined their priorities with regard to the Official Development Assistance (ODA) in the MENA. Combined, aid flows from the EU institutions and the member states have in-creased by 52%. European funding focused on addressing the most pressing humanitarian crisis (Syria), while continuing the extensive support provided to the countries neighbouring the EU. The Union and its member states collectively remain the biggest donor in the MENA, and account for one-third of all aid sent to the region.
