Description: Sonia Alianak asks why some Arab Spring uprisings led to reforms and others to revolutions. The Arab Spring created attempts to transition towards democracy by the peoples of Tunisia, Egypt, Morocco and Jordan. This study compares methods used by secular leaders of Tunisia and Egypt in dealing with people power demanding revolution, with those resorted to by the monarchs of Morocco and Jordan in accommodating their people's priority of reform.
