The impact of political instability on international trade in some Arab countries

Abstract EN

International trade is one of the main channels through which countries can boost their economic growth, as it constitutes a significant share of the Arab Countries' GDP, and among the determinants affecting international trade that recently has swept across the Arab World is the political instability, which resulted from the Arab uprising that famously known as “Arab Spring Revolutions”.

Thus, this research is devoted to determine and measure the extent of the impact of political instability on International Trade in these countries through using data for a sample of five Arab Countries during the period 1990-2015.
