Features of Arab Identity: Between Stability and Change in the Shadow of Globalization - Arab Youth and a Modern Vision of a New Arab Identity-

الملخص

The research aims to understand the features of Arab identity in the context of globalization. Its importance lies in examining the characteristics of Arab identity in the era of changes brought about by globalization and the emergence of new concepts, especially among the new generations who have cohabitated for a long time with totalitarian ideologies, particularly in countries belonging to republican systems. This is in light of the changes that have occurred in their cultural structure after the waves and transformations that globalization has stimulated in the structure of the Arab mind, following a long period of marginalization, poverty, and ideological framing, although these systems have advocated for a clear Arab identity. Currently, many concepts have changed under the calls for freedom and democracy in their present forms, regardless of their effectiveness or lack thereof. The communicative revolution, with its modern technological tools, has had an impact on the structure of the Arab mindset, making it more open and seeking a degree of political participation in a context of cultural pluralism. This has led the Arab identity to exist between two states: the first is related to historical and civilizational constants, while the second reflects the cultural changes experienced by the current generations and what can result from that in the form of a more interactive and developed Arab identity
