Despite the grim realities we face on so many fronts in the Middle East
today, there is reason to be optimistic about the long-term political
trajectory of the Arab world. Arabs—especially young Arabs—are finally
beginning to answer, on their own and from the ground up, the key
question of the past century: what will follow the Ottoman system as the
true source of political legitimacy? The emerging answer is that for
governments to be legitimate, they must ultimately derive their powers
from the consent of the governed. This, in my view, is the meaning of
the Arab Spring.
