The role of the Islamic factor in the socio-political development of the Arab countries

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the role of Islam in the socio-political development of the Arab countries. The article analyzes the socio-political and ideological development of the Arab countries and explores the historical causes and socio-political preconditions of the Arab unrest that swept the Middle East region. The main trends of the transition from the authoritarian regime of many Arab states to the liberal regime were analyzed. The author comes to the conclusion that significant political events that occurred in recent years have determined the special place of Islam in the political process in the Arab countries. Today Islam is one of the most important factors in the geopolitical processes of the world community. The Islamic factor has a great influence not only on the settlement and resolution of many contemporary socio-political and economic issues, but also on interstate relations.
