| Abstract: | The most important lesson learned from the Arab Spring is the bankruptcy of the idea of authoritarian modernisation in the Arab world. Tunisami confirmed that in the long term, the stability of the Southern Neighborhood depends on simultaneous democratisation and modernisation of this region. The EU and Turkey are two players for whom an outcome of these processes has an enormous importance. At the same time, both sides, as external stake holders in the region, possess a huge potential to influence the course of events either positively or negatively. |
