Carl Gershman on democracy's Fourth Wave in The New Republic:
- We are seeing that democracy is indeed a universal value, and “Arab exceptionalism” theory does not hold ground.
- The majority of people in the Middle East, just as in other parts of the world, prefer democracy as the best form of government, according to public opinion surveys.
- Autocratic governments are less stable than people think they are, especially given the expansion of new communication technologies and social networking that provide people with new means to expose corruption and push for freedom of expression.
