استجلاء الملامح الطائفية في بناءات دول المشرق العربي : مشهد التفكك

الملخص EN

The recent decades has demonstrated clearly that Arabic Mashrek societies are more sectarian, Many of the current conflicts in region have been attributed to sectarianism, a politicization of ethnic and religious identity.

Sectarian discoures provide an emotional rallyng point for popular mobilization, and are easily leveraged by actors involved in the conflict to achieve their goals.

The rise in sectarian violence sponsored by external actors poses an existential threat to these already-fragile states.

Authoritarian State tends to encourage recourse to identities that do not align with the nation-state, such as sect, ethnicity, or tribe, to ensure the stability of the political system.

Sectarian conflict of the kind now witnessed is thus a symptom of political conflict rather than a cause.

So, Arab societies need to activate the values of pluralism and protect civil rights,wich allows the establishment of a free public space for expression of opinion and identity, and the nation state needs to be re-legitimised to prevent it from disintegrating.
