Abstract:   (1885 Views)
General views have usually ignored the relation between the type of civil society and the type of political transitions. To address this shortcoming, the current article has reinvestigated this relation through a comparative study of revolutions in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya. In the framework of this relation, this article has demonstrated that remarkable development of civil society in Tunisia and Egypt has caused democratic transitions occur within a shorter period of time and with less aggression consequently. In Libya, on the contrary, due to its weak and undeveloped civil society the democratic transition occurred in a longer period of time and inevitably with more aggression. Although the 2013 military coup in Egypt indicated that even an established civil society is unable to guarantee the consolidation of democratic transition. However, comparative studies of this article suggests that regardless of other factors, an established civil society has a positive impact on a quick transition with less aggression whereas a non-established civil society exerts a negative impact on the revolution leading to a long transition with more aggression. In second case, it has even drawn foreign intervention.
Keywords: civil society, transition, revolution, democracy, Egypt, Tunisia, Libya.
