Abstract:
The “Arab Spring” will have a significant effect not only on domestic issues, but also on foreign policy and disarmament. Arab governments will become more accountable to their people and foreign policy will become more in line with domestic aspirations and a reflection of popular sentiments. Public opinion will play a more significant role in formulation of foreign policy (elections - role of youth – different political parties). The parliament will be an important variable in foreign affairs (Arab and National Security Committee). Political and security issues will be at the forefront of foreign policy issues in the Arab World in which nuclear issues are expected to receive considerable attention.
