Arabs are losing faith in democracy to deliver economic stability across the Middle East and North Africa, according to a major new survey.
"There's a growing realisation that democracy is not a perfect form of government, and it won't fix everything," he says. In seven countries and the Palestinian territories, more than half of respondents to the Arab Barometer survey agree with the statement that their country needs a leader who can "bend the rules" if necessary to get things done. Only in Morocco do fewer than half agree with that statement. However there is also a sizeable proportion of people disagreeing with the statement in the Palestinian territories, Jordan, and Sudan.
The survey in Tunisia was conducted between October and November 2021. Since then there have been protestst, as he has tightened his grip on power by dissolving parliament, taking control of the electoral commission, and pressed ahead with holding a referendum on a new constitution which many say will boost his authority. The country's economy has meanwhile sunk deeper into crisis.
Only in two countries is the economic situation not seen as the most crucial issue - in Iraq, where it is corruption, and in war-torn Libya, where it is instability. The economic outlook is bleak across the region, with fewer than half of all respondents willing to describe the economic situation in their country as good.
