In 2011, citizens across the Arab region rose up and demanded more voice in government and accountability from their rulers. This so-called Arab Spring, mainly driven by limited opportunities for political participation and little to no equitable distribution of economic gains, was the latest in a series of political upheavals in the region that have taken place since the 1970s. Some of them have lead to democratization, while others have involved the replacement of one ruling elite by another.
