Abstract

The years 2011–2013 have seen Arab citizens take matters into their own hands by demanding change and mobilizing the human resources, human energy, and social networks required to make change happen. These developments have brought a new set of questions about how citizens will implement social change in a sustainable, scalable manner to address the social, economic, and political problems they brought to light, namely the lack of freedom imposed by poverty, poor health, limited education, and undemocratic governance.
