  Pan-Arabism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aflaq and al-Arsuzi were key figures in the establishment of the Arab Ba'ath (Resurrection) Party, and the former was for long its chief ideologist, combining elements of Marxist thought with a nationalism to a considerable extent reminiscent of nineteenth-century European romantic nationalism.
The high point of the pan-Arab movement was in the 1960s, but pan-Arabism was strongly hurt by the Arab defeat by Israel in the Six Day War and the inability of pan-Arabist governments to generate economic growth.
It continues however, to exert a strong influence and nostalgic influence in Arab print media and intellectual circles, particularly in the Levant and Egypt.

The Arab general public responded in kind, especially in the more affluent states, where satellite dishes are found in every fourth home.
While Al-Jazeera took the lead in disintegration of taboos in the first area, the Lebanese channels were instrumental in whetting the general public's appetite in the GCC markets for the latter.
But program-mix and repackaging renovation of government channels, which are hardly able to walk into the living rooms of Arab families outside their respective markets, is not enought to put these channels into the major league.

Whereas the Arab nationalist focus on freedom from foreign intervention demanded a change in the status quo, as the states were granted independence, it became in the ruling groups’ interest to preserve the new status quo and thus their own power bases (Taylor 17).
Arab regimes had their own narrow interests of staying in power, and a desire to pursue them meant following particular policies; yet such a particularist outlook was not enough since to remain in power also required that they establish domestic stability.
Arab nationalism was therefore “both an aid and a threat to domestic stability, the government’s autonomy, and perhaps even the state’s sovereignty” (Barnett 50).

In short, a group of Arab liberals is proclaiming the end of Pan-Arabism and its history of excuse-making for failure and tyranny.
Among the great failures of the contemporary Arab world is that its press, its academy, and even its arts establishment had been unable in recent decades to fulfill one of their essential cultural roles: identifying social and institutional problems, and offering corrections.
Arab liberals, it should be noted, are not necessarily allies of the West or of the United States.

Therefore, though an Arab world certainly exists, it is nevertheless divided into four distinct areas (the Maghreb, Egypt and Sudan, the Chain, and the Arabian Peninsula), although within the latter, Yemen, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the Gulf states are all quite distinct.
"Arab nationalism was dominant by virtue of being the official ideology of the political regimes in the most important Arab states, especially in Egypt, Syria, and Iraq after military nationalist circles seized power and in Algeria after the war of independence.
It wasn't nationalism which originally drew Arabs to Israel; it was richer and better living thanks to the Jewish movement to re-populate the area and the Jews who turned deserts into gardens, however like most nascent movements, a sense of belonging did develop for all of those who made their homes there.

 The Rise And Potential Fall Of Pan-Arab Satellite TV   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Inexpensive analogue satellite TV gear was introduced to the Arab world during the 1990s, and the even cheaper digital TV satellite technologies that have followed since the beginning of this decade, have been instrumental in short-circuiting a number of stages in the evolution of the TV distribution landscape in the Arab world.
But in the case of the Arab world, just as the rapid proliferation of satellite TV has created many opportunities, it also has imposed tremendous challenges, if not frustrations, which Arab broadcasters seem to have been unable to cope with.
Arab satellite homes from the Atlantic all the way along North Africa and to the Arabian Gulf are catered to by an ever-increasing number of satellite TV channels that take little note of local or regional variations in TV viewing needs.

 TBS: The Pan-Arab Satellite Broadcasters
The first major impact of new satellite technologies upon Arab media was in the eighties, not in the nineties, and it was the satellited daily newspaper, not television.
At the time I was struck by the irony, which still holds true in the Arab satellite-driven nineties, that in the end it was wealth, generated in a conservative Arab country, and technology acquired by that wealth, and not radical Arab ideology, be it Baathist or Nasserist, that had brought about a pan-Arab press.
Unlike much of the Arab press, which enjoyed at least a formative development as privately owned newspapers that functioned within the context of some sort of journalistic tradition, all Arab television—be it the prevailing state systems or ruling groups left-wing or right-wing, market economies or socialist economies, republics or monarchies—was state-owned.

The farce that the Arab League has become certainly suggests pan-Arabism is non-existent in 2004.
However, as time unfolded it was clear that effort, and the wider pan-Arabism, were most probably merely attempts by individual leaders to exert control beyond their own nation’s borders.
And, perhaps worryingly for individual leaders in the Arab world, it is a force far greater than them, whether they act separately or through some allegedly unifying body, such as the Arab League.

The paucity of the TV advertising expenditures that target Arabs in the UAE--less than 20 percent of total advertising revenues--does not stand much taller than the bare 3 percent of the TV budgets that target non-Arabs.
Should the share of TV advertising revenues at the level of Arab markets in total be 44 percent, there is no rationale why TV advertising revenues in the UAE market should not be one half what it is at the regional level.
The nearly zero TV advertising budgets that target the nearly ten million non-Arabs who are mostly Asians may best be studied in the context of the scale of the different media that target this important segment, which is not within the scope of this paper.
