Abstract

In this paper, I reviewed the requirements for the success of the political reform process in the Arab world after the crises witnessed by many Arab countries under the so-called "Arab Spring", by focusing on the conceptual implications of political reform in these countries and the importance of this at the local, regional and international levels, despite the different characteristics and circumstances of Arab societies in general, the requirements for the success of political reform in them are reflected in two basic means: the first is a legal means, linked to the role of legislator in the enactment of laws and political reform process, the second is a social and cultural means at the same time, related to the role of civil society organizations in changing the concepts, principles and values in the citizen's mind, in the sense of trying to democratize the behavior of citizens. The legislative function of the legislature is easy and does not require much time and great effort, although it is important to change the legal texts. However, social and cultural reform requires much more time, effort and active involvement of the various organizations in society, from the family to the school to the media and political parties. I take this intervention through to address these elements:1 - The concept of political reform in the Arab world2 - The importance of political reform in the Arab world3. Conditions for the success of political reform in the Arab world-Legal reform and the importance of the legislator's role in this.-Cultural reform and the importance of the role of civil society organizations.
