FRIDE-CARNEGIE: Arab Political Systems - Baseline Information and Reforms

With the world’s attention focused as never before on political reform and democratization in Arab countries, giving rise to often highly politicized debates, it is important to provide accurate, factual information about Arab political systems and reforms being introduced in the region.

This webpage represents a joint undertaking of the Democracy and Rule of Law Project at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington and FRIDE in Madrid.

It provides easily accessible baseline information about the political systems of Arab countries, with links to official documents and websites, and will be frequently updated to provide information about reforms being introduced.
 
The webpage complements the information about political reform in Arab countries provided by the Arab Reform Bulletin, a monthly online publication by the Carnegie Endowment.
 
The information about each country includes a section on “Updates and Forthcoming Events” which will be updated as events warrant. The full text will be re-organized periodically to reflect these changes.
