Although audible in the past, appeals for reform from within the Arab world have taken on a new dimension since the beginning of the 21st century.

This new drive for reform has emerged in the midst of unfavorable regional and international circumstances, such as the continued Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories, the occupation of Iraq by the...
