Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper analyzes correlation between globalization and democratization in Arab World with the Arab Spring as a case of study. Qualitative analysis is used to observe domestic, regional and global dimension of the Arab Spring. This research found that democratization in Arab is cross border phenomena which are involved not only state actors, but also non-state actors starting from individuals and groups of people to global civil society. It is a difficult journey to consolidate democracy in the Middle East due to state actors represented their elites generally prevent oppositions coming to power by using non-democratic action. At the same time, Western countries which have influence to the elites in the Middle East are not serious on democracy. Meanwhile, oppositions mostly coming from Islamic movements by using media and information technology try democratizing political system in Arabic countries. They believe that democracy is a way to prevent a tyranical power coming to power. ABSTRAK Artikel ini menganalisis keterkaitan antara globalisasi dan demokratisasi di negara-negara Arab dengan Arab Spring sebagai studi kasus. Analisis kualitatif dilakukan dengan mengamati dimensi domestik, regional dan global yang melingkupi peristiwa Arab Spring tersebut. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa demokratisasi di Arab adalah fenomena lintas batas yang tidak hanya melibatkan aktor negara namun juga aktor non negara mulai dari individu dan kelompok masyarakat sampai dengan msyarakat sipil global. Namun, konsolidasi demokrasi di Timur Tengah adalah jalan yang sulit karena aktor negara diwakili para elitnya menggunakan cara cara tidak demokratis untuk menghalangi kekuatan oposisi meraih kekuasaan. Pada saat yang bersamaan, negara-negara Barat yang memiliki pengaruh terhadap elit di Timur Tengah tidak serius dalam mendorong penerapan demokrasi. Sedangkan kelompok oposisi yang umumnya berasal dari kekuatan politik Islam dengan menggunakan media dan teknologi informasi mencoba untuk mendemokratiskan siste politik di negara-negara Arab. Mereka meyakini bahwa demokrasi adalah jalan untuk mencegah tampilnya kekuasaan tirani di negara-negara Arab.
