Abstract

The pro-democracy protests that had begun in 2011 overthrew the military power of the North African countries including Tunisia, Egypt and Libya. Then the wave of the Arab democratization alerted the whole Arab world beyond Morocco, Algeria, Sudan, Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia, as the demand of the citizens on democratization in Iran, a non-Arab Middle East country, proceeded to an antigovernment campaign.BR The pro-democratization protests in the North African Arab countries just resulted in the birth of an internationally unprecedented armed group called ISIS without democracy taking root in the Arab region. This made the democratization of the Arab world a distant hope and the Arab world suffer from internal conflicts.BR There are complicated reasons why democracy has failed to take right root in the Arab countries where the pro-democratization protests occurred. On top of that, the ISIS-related organizations that are spreading as far as the North African region will further slow down the democratization of the Arab countries.
