Exploring Ontological differences between Pan - Arabism and Arab Spring Movements

Diffusion of modernity in the Arab world along with the process of modernization and Islamist antagonism against it, especially among Arabs, have yielded enormous social changes and transformation in Arab countries. Optimism for the establishment on independent and powerful Arabi governments based on modern nation-state principles caused the increasing rise of authoritarian and autonomous social movements among Arabi countries such as Egypt, Iraq, Syria and somehow in Libya, and Algeria. Pan-Arabi movements in these nations relied on Islamic-Arabic roots caused on increasingl independency of Arabi countries from Middle East to North Africa. These movements extended their authority until what is called as Arab Spring, in 2011. Arab Spring created a new ontological attitude and spread in all Arab nations in a few months. This paper is concerned with explaining the ontological differences between Pan-Arabist and Arab Spring, movements. Exploring their goals, political route, slogans, and outcomes may explain their ontological differences. Using political orientation, this paper aims to investigate the ontological aspects and fundamental differences between these two movements.
