Abstract: Abstract Research by A. Korotayev et al. finds that the most significant factors that tended to increase the scale of sociopolitical destabilization during the Arab Spring have turned out to be the following: presence of intra-elite conflict, inter-religious and intertribal heterogeneity, particular types of political regimes (especially, “imitation democracies”), the absence of effective power transfer tools, the absence of “immunity” to internal conflicts (including the absence of the legal basis for the functioning of Islamist-oriented opposition); some role was also played by certain structural-demographic factors associated with youth bulges, education, and unemployment, as well as external influences.
