In the previous chapters, the various aspects of Arab reform were reviewed and assessed in detail. These analyses clearly demonstrate that social contracts for the past five decades that controlled the development policies in the region are on their path to be a thing of the past. Therefore, this chapter aims to present a new framework that aims to contribute to an inclusive and integrated development based on key economic, social and institutional variables, taking into consideration the distinctive features of each Arab group.

This framework is significant as it incorporates all dimensions of reform and the inclusive nature of such reforms. The framework also acquires its importance as most previous studies were only interested in the economic aspects rather than other dimensions of reform, and the issue of a more inclusive structure of reform seems not to have received due consideration. Even in the economic arena, it is remarkable that sectorial and single-issue studies that focus on very few outcomes of the reform process dominate the scene.
