Resumen
Las revueltas árabes que comenzaron a finales de 2010 y se desarrollaron,
profundamente, desde principios de 2011 fueron el resultado de largos años de sumisión
de la población árabe, la cual, despojándose del miedo, abrió los ojos y comenzó una
lucha contra los tiranos que los oprimían.
De esta forma, se produjo un efecto contagio y, comenzando por Túnez, las
revueltas se fueron expandiendo rápidamente hacía los demás países árabes. Mediante
estas protestas, se llevó a cabo el desmantelamiento de regímenes políticos que
gobernaban desde hacía más de cuarenta años, como Ben Ali en Túnez, Mubarak en
Egipto y Gadafi en Libia.
Así, se inició la apertura a la democratización de sus sistemas políticos, tratándose
de un proceso de transición hacia la democracia que nos permite hablar de una cuarta ola
de democratización y que, evidentemente, no dará sus frutos a corto plazo.
The Arab riots which took place at the end of 2010 and developed, deeply, from beginnings of 2011 were the result of many years of submission of the Arab population, who getting rid of their fears, opened their eyes and began a fight against tyrants that oppressed them. In this way, the riots that started in Tunisia were quickly spread to the rest of Arabic countries. It was thanks to these demonstrations that the political regimes, which had been governing for 40 years, were forced from power, for instance: Ben Ali in Tunisia, Mubarak in Egypt and Gadafi in Libya. Thus, the democratization of their political systems began, being a transition process towards democracy that allow us to talk about a fourth wave of democratization and which, obviously, will not yield results in a short-term.
