The Indicators and Measurements of Arab Democracy

This discourse addresses one of the most important issues that face world communities, especially the Arab ones. It is the issue of democracy, which has become the only and true indicator through which the integrity and rationality of political systems are measured. In order to the researcher to approach the question of the indicators and the measurements of Arab democracy, this study has setup a hypothesis that is based on the fact that the methods of accountability and control are totally tied with the realization of the existence of a political will. an‎d in order to test this assumption, the researcher adopted the methodologies of the systems analyses, the decision-making, and thepolitical elites. This is viewed within a historical reading of the democratic experience through the study. The study falls within three discourses. The first addressed the democratic components in the Arab political thought. The second spoke about the level of accountability and transparency in the Arab democratic experiment. The third discourse surveyed the measurement indicators in the Arab homeland. The researcher concluded by calling on the Arab political systems to pay attention to the measurement indicators of democracy that have been established in the advanced political systems.
