It is the corner stone a of new project for the society. However Democracy is a tool for wellbeing of population and not an end in itself.Arab peoples projects should include economic development and shared growth. Without good economic perspectives and some kind of unity (example of EU) « revolutions » cannot succeed.Recent changes in the Arab World will lead to a new approach in international economic relations as well and perhaps give faith to Arabs to invest in Arab countries rather than elsewhere.It is in times of crisis that one should invest for the future
