Mohamed ElAgati[1] This intervention focuses on tackling the methodology of the Euro-Med relations process rather than discussing particular events and incidents. First, I can describe the approach to this issue as problematic since it is based on a short-term view built on risk and interest assessment and measured mainly on trade balances. With the US/Russia current hegemony, like in the case of the current crisis in Syria, wise relations should target the long term and be based on opportunities and challenges’ assessments and measured on the capacity of cooperation and conducting dialogue between different stakeholders (not risk and interest). Measuring this…

Mohamed ElAgatiThe role of civil society in achieving social justice has emerged with its establishment in the very beginning, even if it was only excluded to the charitable aspect. The core idea was to improve the most marginalized and poor categories, even if the charitable work is not enough in that context. Civil society has reached a certain degree of maturity with the Arab revolutions. It attempted to play a pivotal role in achieving objectives of revolutions that raised certain slogans when they emerged and social justice was in the heart of them either directly or through other slogans such…

These two demands are basically associated with social justice in one way or the other. Thus, we cannot underestimate the role of the economic conditions that lack social justice in the outbreak of these revolutions. If…

Mahmoud Bayoumi ,Mohamed ElAgatiThis paper is a result of a closed round table discussion; it expresses the personal opinion of its writers and does not necessarily express the opinion of the Arab Forum for Alternatives or Global Partners Governance The emergence of political Islam after the Arab Spring revolutions raised multiple and sometimes conflictive questions about changes in the religious field. And this was coincided with an atmosphere of Islamic-secular polarity in countries of the Arab Spring especially Egypt and Tunisia and to a certain extent Yemen and Morocco, and acquisitions of controlling religious institutions in order to strength legitimacy…

Judiciary in Constitutional documents in Arab Spring countries (Egypt- Tunisia- Morocco- Yemen)

Mahmoud Bayoumi ,Mohamed ElAgatiJudiciary is one of the main pillars of balance between the three authorities and it plays an important role in the democratic transformation process. It is no doubt that the Arab Spring made radical changes in this field that created an important chance to enhance independence and neutrality of judiciary. The Status quo in the Arab world is confusing, thus, it created different reactions either from the judiciary itself or from different political powers. From here comes the importance of studying the status of judiciary in Arab constitutional documents to have a clear understanding of changes that…

Mass media had an important role in the Arab Spring revolutions, in which open space contributed in curbing control of authoritarian regimes over media and information. In past times, media was controlled completely by the state until revolutions and…
