Since 2010, number of political uprisings took place in the Arab countries which so called The Arab Spring (at-Thawrât al-'Arabiyyah). The fall of regimes such as in Tunis, Egypt, and Libya, following the massive resistance of people was actually reflect the crisis of legitimacy and the weakness of authority of many political leaders in the region. Moreover, the loyalty of many people in the Arab countries to their leaders was also problematic decision when it has to deal with their primordial affiliations such as ashabiyah, wathanniyah, qaummiyah and ummah. The Arab Spring is a very important political movement which taught us lessons that both leadership and national character building are unfinished and will never be end as a process. This phenomenon also emphasized the importance of political system to be adaptive to the dynamic of domestic political situation and international atmosphere as well. The failure to adapt towards such conditions will causes to the fall of the ruling power.

The Arab Spring dramatically increased investors' perceptions of political risk in MENA. An examination of these perceptions indicates long-run optimism that political transitions in the region -- if democratic and coupled with political stability -- could increase FDI and contribute to MENA's economic development.

One of the core dominant events, in the Middle East in 21th century, was Arab Spring revolutions in 2010-2011. These revolutions aimed to achieve democracy and get rid of the dictator regimes in the Arab countries. No doubt that Arab Spring had political social and economic reasonable and significant impacts. This paper will examine various reflections on the Arab revolutions of the Arab Spring (2010-2011) through modern Arab poetry, focusing on four selected poems as cases of study. In addition to the aimed historical reading, this paper attempts to analyse the selected poems focusing literary and poetic methods, as well as language and diction, comparing between them. For diversity, while all the selected poems are modern Arabic poetry, one of the selected poems is the neo-classic Arabic poetry of Ibrāhīm Obaydī, and the three others are free verse poetry from Ahmed Matar, Musʿab al-Mūrādī, and Ahmad Msāʿdih. Methodologically, this study is analytic, comparative and inductive, relying relevant poems of the selected four poets. This paper suggests not only that the Arab Spring played a significant historical role in the Middle East, leading to intensive civil and non-civil armed conflicts, but also, Modern Arab poetry contributes to historical documenting immortalizing the Arab Spring revolutions including their aims and motivations, as well as their social political and cultural impacts.

Danışman: DR. ÖĞR. ÜYESİ ALİHAN LİMONCUOĞLU ; PROF. DR. MAHMUT KUBİLAY AKMAN Yer Bilgisi: İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi / Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü / Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkiler Anabilim Dalı / Güvenlik Araştırmaları Bilim Dalı Konu: Uluslararası İlişkiler = International Relations ; Arap Baharı kapsamı ve güvenlik kavramının değişimine etkisi açısından tarihsel sahnede önemli bir yere sahiptir. Arap Baharı'nın başlaması ile gerekliliği daha da anlaşılan Güvenlik Çalışmaları'nın kavramlarıyla konunun tartışılması ve farklı yönleri ile araştırılması düşünülmektedir. Kuzey Afrika ülkelerinin Arap Baharı öncesi ve sonrasında toplum yapısı ve güvenlik açısından uğradığı değişimler Kolonyalizm sonrasından başlayarak 2012 yılına kadar geçen süreyi kapsayacak şekilde anlatılmaya çalışılmıştır. Arap Baharı'nı geniş bir analiz süzgecinden geçirerek süreç hakkında bilgi sahibi olmak mümkündür. Sürecin demokratik mi, manipülasyon mu olduğunu anlamak için yapılan analizde kullanılan demokrasi indeksleri Kuzey Afrika ülkelerinin durumu hakkında ayrıntılı bilgiler verecektir. Görsel Sosyoloji 'den yararlanarak analize yenilik ve farklı bir perspektif kazandırılması amaçlanmıştır. Soğuk Savaş sonrası değişen güvenlik algısının anlaşılması açısından önemli yere sahip olan Kopenhag Okulu çerçevesinde Arap Baharı'nın Güvenlikleştirme ve Bölgesel Güvenlik Kompleksi Teorisi ile açıklanması düşünülmektedir. Johan Galtung'un barış ve çatışma alanındaki çalışmaları ile Barry Buzan'ın kavramsal çerçevesinin konunun daha iyi anlaşılmasına yarar sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. İşletme literatüründe sıkça karşımıza çıkan SWOT analizinin Güvenlik Çalışmaları alanındaki uygulanabilirliği denenmiştir. Kuzey Afrika'nın çağdaş döneminin Arap Baharı sonrası geçirdiği dönüşüm Güvenlik Çalışmaları bağlamında analiz edilmiştir. Yaşanan dönüşümün daha belirgin görülmesini sağlamak düşüncesiyle Arap Baharı sonrası yıllar (2014-2019) seçilmiş ve bu yıllara ait küresel terörizm-küresel barış indeksleri kullanılmıştır. İndekslerdeki veriler ve elde edilen sonuçlar ile Kuzey Afrika'nın günümüzdeki güvenlik durumuna bakılmıştır. Uluslararası İlişkiler 'de önemli bir konuma sahip olan Arap Baharı ayrıntılı bir şekilde Güvenlik Çalışmaları literatürü ve diğer sosyal bilimler literatürleri kullanılarak anlatılacaktır. ; With its impact on the change in the concept of security, the Arab Spring has an important place in history. With the advent of the Arab Spring, the main aim has been centered around investigating the different aspects of the topic. The focus has also been on discussing the topic in terms of the theories of Security Studies, the importance of which has been further understood. The main objective of the present study is to discuss the community structure of North African countries and the changes that took place before and after the Arab Spring in terms of security. The study focuses on the period from prior to Colonialism until 2012. It is possible to gain knowledge about the process by extensively analyzing the topic. The democracy indexes that are used to analyze whether the process was democratic or manipulative, will provide some detailed information on the condition of North African countries. By employing visual sociology, it is also aimed to bring in a new and different perspective to the analysis. Within the framework of the Copenhagen School, which has an important place in allowing a better understanding of the growing perception of security after the Cold War, the study also aimed to discuss the Arab Spring in terms of the Securitization and Regional Security Complex Theory. The peace and conflict studies of Johan Galtung and the theoretical framework of Barry Buzan will provide a better understanding of the topic under study. The SWOT analysis, which is often covered in business studies, is applied in the field of Security Studies. Transformation of North Africa's contemporary period after the Arab Spring, is investigated in the context of Security Studies. To make this transformation clear, the focus of this study is on the time period after the Arab Spring (2014-2019), and the global terrorism-global peace indexes of this time period are used. With the data retrieved from the indexes and the obtained results, the current security condition of North Africa is examined. The Arab Spring, which has a significant place in international relations, will be discussed in detail by covering the literature of Security Studies and the other social sciences disciplines.

From its inception in September 2011, the Occupy Wall Street movement has been linked to the revolutions and popular uprisings throughout North Africa and the Middle East that have gone under the name of the Arab Spring. This connection is reflected in the official OWS website, which declares: 'We are using the revolutionary Arab Spring tactic to achieve our ends and encourage the use of nonviolence to maximize the safety of all participants.' While the rich and complex set of popular struggles across North African and the Middle East cannot be reduced to a single 'tactic,' this acknowledgement of the Arab Spring as an inspiration for the Occupy movement represents my point of departure for considering OWS within current conversations about global solidarity. More specifically, the claims and practices of Occupy highlight an important distinction between the movement's self-understanding of being inspired by the Arab Spring versus the even more important question of how a U.S.-based movement can stand in solidarity with popular movements throughout North Africa and the Middle East, as well as the less publicized popular movements throughout Sub-Saharan Africa.

Turkey and Iran are on opposite sides of a bloody civil war in Syria. But competition is not novel to these countries, and the intensity of their current rivalry may be exaggerated. (Survival / SWP)
