One of the characteristics of the modern international systems is the undeniable role the new communication technologies play in different sections of human societies. Modern communication technologies such as satellites and computers have challenged the national authority and sovereignty of Vestfallian states. Although national states, specially, in the third world countries, extremely resist this threat, the fact is that this resistance cannot be successful. The Middle East is one of the subsystems of this whole which has witnessed great changes during the last two years, changes that are known as "Arab Spring", today.
