The unified Arab project: from the unity of peoples to the renewal of elite consciousness (a comprehensive strategic approach for the Levant, the Maghreb, and the Gulf)

Arab unity represents one of the most important civilizational aspirations in modern Arab history, a project that extends from Mauritania on the banks of the Atlantic to Oman on the Arabian Sea, bringing together a cultural and geographical space that carries all the elements of cohesion: language, history, heritage, geographical extension, and intertwined economic interests. Although many Arab regimes are restricted within a system of external influence, especially American and European influence, the Arab peoples still possess an innate ability to communicate and interact, in a way that makes the idea of unity a realistic possibility and not just a theoretical discourse.
