Abstract

ABSTRACT: Within the framework of risk analysis – considered one of the important perspectives for understanding socio-political systems, and their sources of cohesion or instability – this paper provides a general account of the major developments that have occurred in the Arab countries during and after 2015. It argues that the dangers and risks confronting these countries have been on the increase.
