The debate on the nature of the military regimes in the Arab world lost much of its importance in the Arab Middle East and the Maghreb. Rather than dealing with the three traditional personal authoritarian regimes, however, four Arab countries such as Syria, Egypt, Iraq and Algeria, ranks high in military coups. However, for understanding of the political role of the military in the Arab world people require an examination of the attitude of the military towards society, and the special linkages between the officers in power and certain parts of society. The kind of response Arab tribalism and Islamic fundamentalism offer to the suppression of society by the coercive state is different from the various African, South American and even Eastern European responses. However, the growing population and the continuing pressure for social change in the Arab world are issues which no military regime can resolve politically, unless it chooses to work towards its own dissolution.
