The impact of political stability on economic development in the Arab countries for the period 1996-2016

Abstract

Good governance and economic development are currently regarded as one of the major problems of economies at the international level,   and still remain among the concerns of the actors of the society, and on more than one level.

Arab countries face significant development challenges, largely related to the setting in of good governance systems. In this regard, we want to contribute to this question by examining the importance of political stability, as a dimension of good governance, to promote sustainable economic and social development in these countries.

Despite the situation in many Arab countries, the results of the study suggest the positive impact of political stability and the acceptable situation for many of them, which requires us to examine the reliability and representativeness of data published by the World Bank, although we recognize the efforts made to do so.
