Transformations in the Arab World

Since January 2011, the Arab World entered into a historical process of rapid and deep change of its political and social structures.

This process of political transformations shows some striking similarities with the political revolution in post-Communist Europe and post-Soviet Eurasia in the period between November 1989 (The fall of the Iron Curtain) and December 1991 (The end of the Soviet Union).

The main task of the project is to provide a scientific comparison the political and social transformation or stability in 7 Arab countries: Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Jordan, and Iraq.


ArabTrans survey fieldwork

There are 6 research teams tasked with conducting large-scale quantitative surveys in 7 countries in the Arab World.

Survey in Iraq

The recent ArabTrans survey in the country was completed at the end of August 2014.

The sample size was 1750 men and women in rural and urban areas of Iraq.

Gender ratio of the respondents was 51.6% males to 48.4% females.

Error margin is estimated to be approximately ± 2-3 per cent at 95% confidence level.


The ISIS crisis

The ArabTrans partner IIACSS have timely completed their survey work before ISIS have overrun most of the Northern Iraq and ahead of the current NATO-led aerial bombing campaign.

ArabTrans is now in exclusive possession of the reliable socio-political survey data from Northern and Central Iraq.

Since ISIS arrival data collection in the area is deemed too dangerous.
