Discussion
In overview, the main constraints of democracy making and important factors of centralization and totalities in the Middle East are following:1- Ethnic diversity in the state of this region is very high. So, there has been much potential for conflict and confrontation in the region's countries over the past decade. Obviously totalitarian regimes are better able for overcoming to ethnic divisions.so, this ensures that the desire of concentration of power increase in these areas. From other side, Biological Foundations of scattering in this region is not fair. Therefore centralized state only can provide equitable access for all people fairly. In other words, natural resources and fossil fuels there are not equal in across the country.
3- In this region, one of the crucial elements influencing the political features of the state and society are religion. Obviously, since the advent of Islam in the Middle East has been profound impact on the objective features of the government, and society in this region. Obviously Islam is less adapted with the principles of democracy and liberalism. So this issue is another human obstacle of democratic state emergence in this region.

But in most state in the Middle Easter, more than 50 percent of government revenue earns directly from the sale of oil and oil-related derivatives and other sources of oil product and single-product. So states having relatively large revenues from the sale of fossil fuels and single-product, determine its own national strategic objective, develop and implement
Conclusion
