Opinion: This is not yet a second Arab Spring — but sparks are beginning to fly
By Jackson Diehl Jackson Diehl Deputy editorial page editor and columnist focusing on international affairs Email Bio Follow Deputy Editorial Page Editor March 17 at 7:45 PM The images of mass protests in Arab capitals, where demonstrators are demanding that corrupt and aging rulers step down, may look anachronistic.
Still, the new wave of unrest points to a couple of conclusions that run counter to the conventional wisdom in Washington — especially inside the Trump administration. First, as Dunne puts it, “The tinder again is quite dry in the region, and sparks are beginning to fly.” And, second, the authoritarian restoration that was supposed to return political stability to the Arab Middle East and open the way to economic modernization has failed.
Much of the region is suffering from the same toxic mix of mismanagement and corruption. Far from flourishing along Chinese or even Russian lines, Arab societies are once again depressed and frustrated.
