Statement of the Problem
Recently the world has witnessed the courage of numerous remonstrates in a row of the Muslim World countries who by unthinkable losses and pains succeeded to overthrow the oppressive regimes in their countries. Now, these people faced a new reality of coping with the daily difficulties of living in transitioning regimes. In particular, these challenges are connected with serious political, economic, social, and cultural issues implicating the country’s sovereignty, unity, security, peace and development (Organization of Islamic Cooperation 2011).
There exist no universal decisions and panacea prescriptions for each country with a transition regime. However, the most important issues of promoting order in such countries are connected with reducing inequalities among the people of the country, providing all of them with decent jobs, opening political space for the participation of all the citizens, providing a basis for acquiring better healthcare and education. In addition, the importance is great to offer a mechanism for fostering unity, peace, reconciliation and justice in those countries. All the people must be endowed with a chance to exercise their human rights and freedoms, having equal opportunities for all no matter to what social group they belong. People must be provided with means to shape their own lives, make their own decisions, ways to stand for honesty and protest against corruption, repression and any other kind of injustice (United Nations Development Program 2011).
These transition regimes should respond to new economic standards and have different political models which will by no means concentrate power and riches in the hands of a few individuals and their families (Council On Foreign Relations 2011). It is very important to organize those regimes in order to provide equal opportunities and conditions for the citizens in urban and rural territories, male and female inhabitants, representatives of different religions and religious denominations. The law system and the enforcement of laws must have a new democratic principle minimizing oppressing actions by oligarchies and any other dictators. In transition regimes “stronger systems of checks and balances will be needed to establish transparent decision-making and fair allocation of public resources” (United Nations Development Program 2011). And finally, it is important to have an open conversation among people within all the layers of society to create a new form of government that will strive to promote the interest of the most varied representatives of the society.
History of the Problem
The problem of promoting order in transitional regimes has many times occurred in the history of humanity. Its significance was established in a new light after World War II when Europe faced the need to settle a new order in a post-war Germany; a similar problem aroused in post-war Japan. After the 1970s the problem has seen a new wave of actuality in Greece and Argentina on the reason of military juntas which took place in those countries. Recently this problem received a new blaze of publicity with the events in Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen, Syria and Libya (Cook 2011). The full outcome of the revolutionary events to happen in those countries is yet unidentified (Martini 2011). The countries of fallen regimes inevitably face numerous problems which need serious changes not only in political formation but also in people’s mentality and way of thinking. The hopes and expectations of the citizens of counties with transitioning regimes are high and ambitious; however, they do have their “bumps in the road”. The changes are in process, and in each country, they will have their own character of development.
