العنف السياسي و تأثيره في إضعاف التنمية في المجتمعات العربية

Abstract EN

Summary: - Political violence in societies plays a negative role in impeding economic development and weakening comprehensive development for all aspects of political, social, economic and cultural life, because one of the conditions for any development is that there is relative political stability, which allows for economic development and doubles the rates of comprehensive development.

There is no doubt that Arab societies today are going through a series of waves of escalating political violence in the past years, especially with the emergence of what is known as the Arab Spring and the division of society in those countries with a series of violent changes that are still continuing with the escalation of waves of violence between revolutions and counter-revolutions in some countries as in Egypt and Libya.

And then the concept of political violence evolved into sectarian violence, which is seen in more than one Arab country, starting with Iraq since its occupation in 2003 and the following years, and the division of its society into ethnic and sectarian divisions, passing through Syria, Lebanon and Yemen.

This is what makes the societies of these countries pass through the most dangerous stage of their modern inception, which may lead to the division of these countries into divisions that adopt factional and sectarian methods, at a time when the conditions of political instability and the outbreak of waves of violence lead to a deterioration in economic development or comprehensive development.
