Abstract :
International developments in the first decade of the twentieth-first century, globalization, development of communications, and expand the scope of contacts between peoples in cyber space have caused more awareness of civil rights in the Middle East, comprehensive structural backwardness, and increasing range of demands for fundamental changes and developments in various fields. Unprecedented crisis in the Arab countries as domino swept across the Middle East and North Africa and even has overshadowed some non Arab countries. What is the role of globalization of communications in the Arab spring developments? Based on liberalism principles, citizens who are aware of the world usually are demanding reform. Globalization through public awareness and providing technologies enable citizens to communicate with the rest of the world, thus led the peoples of the Middle East and North Africa to revolt against their rulers and to create enormous changes. Due to the importance of the Middle East region and also the fact that recent unprecedented developments will have significant impacts, this paper examines the developments with regard to globalization of communications and technologies.
