The idea of Arab unity has been a central motive in Arab politics since the declination of the Ottoman
Empire. This idea emerged in the late 19th century, initially aiming at unifying the Arab countries in one
single state. In the Arab hearts and minds, Arab unity is strongly felt, no matter if Arabs live in poor or rich
countries, the basis of this unification is the common Arab heritage, language, culture, religion and history.
The declared objectives of Arab unity were and still are to create unity, economic and social development,
eventually enabling the Arabs to live in a good condition and to resist imperialism’s new ways and means
and to achieve national security.
Whereas for the Arabs, in my point of view the reason that stands behind the Arab’s failure in unifying
themselves in one single state till today is that because they have the spirit of nationalism but merely with
no good plans or strategies on how to gain their unity.
The Arab World was and still is divided into twenty two countries. This diversity has political, economic
and social implications on the Arab World, being part of the Third World countries, subject to those likely
impacts. The objective of this paper is to examine the most important political, economical and social
implications of diversity on the Arab countries, and to suggest appropriate policies that can be applied to
reduce the negative impacts, and maximize the positive ones, on those countries.
