Technological development, market liberalization, capital and labor mobility have inevitably make Arab states flabby to meet the needs of the new form of participation on the global market.

Technological development is not only profoundly changing the production system, the market and the monetary sovereignty of a state, but it is eliminating the state monopoly in accessing, stocking and using of information. This change is dramatically altering the ability of the Arab states to control the public opinion, political and social processes, which have a significant, impact on the change of attitude of individuals and social groups vis-à-vis the state, thus dramatically changing political and social structure of the Arab society.

Changes in production and culture are leading towards a dramatic and painful division between marginalized and poor people in Arab world, who are becoming weaker, louder and more aggressive, and the ruling groups that are becoming more and more arrogant. This division is dramatically leading to a new social conflict in Arab world between the society (“culture of aggressive fear”) and government (“culture of arrogant domination”) that is creating an explosive substance of a new Arab culture (“culture of abhorrence”). This new social and psychological division in Arab World is now visible.
