Abstract

This paper deals with the question of democratization in the Middle East and North Africa in recent years. The chosen examples are Tunisia and Egypt for the so-called Arab Spring and Turkey because it very often serves as a model for democratization in the Middle East on the one hand and the marriage of democracy and Islam on the other hand. Furthermore, due to its geographical and historical-cultural location, it serves as the interlocutor between east and west. A specific focus in the paper will be given to the role of new media in the protests for and the process of democratization.
