The report addresses the state of the political activity being witnessed by the Arab World, starting with Iraq, Palestine, Egypt, Algeria and Yemen. The forms of such activity can be listed as follows: - the deterioration of the leader's image - the deterioration of the state's military power, especially in the advancement of resistance movements such as Hamas and Hezbollah who have made honorable field achievements in confronting the Zionist project - the decline of the state's control over economy - the growth of the protest and opposition movements - the growth of the youth's participation on social websites and blogs - the decline of the state's control over the mass media - and the decrease of the age of leaders in both sides of the government and opposition. As for the determiners of the political activity in the Arab World, they are thought to be as follows: - the success or failure of the economic reform polices - the extent of the government's success in overcoming the social side effects of the above policies - the extent of democracy on the part of the opposition parties - the impact of the poverty-unemployment-literacy triangle - and the interests the influential states on the regional and international levels. It is emphasized in the report that the Arab World is witnessing a state of split and deterioration, as well as an absent relation between the peoples and their governments. Therefore, the battle of change is a long and hard one, whose initial steps have already started, but whose accomplishment is dependent on efforts in the heart of the society. What raises optimism is the light at the end of the tunnel, taking the form of a new courageous generation of political activists who believe in societal work without waiting for immediate results or momentary interests. Thus, the future of the political activity in the Arab World is contingent upon the wisdom and patience of the leaders of political movements, especially the Islamists who have been obviously heading the political activity for a couple of decades.
