The Middle East is a geography that has been exposed to intervention in every sense from the collapse of the empires to the process of sharing after the First World War. In the following period, it seems to be an unstable region that did not provide unity and integrity due to artificial borders, mosaic societies and repressive governments. The "Arab Uprising" that constitute the last ring of this process are expressed around variables such as socioeconomic reasons, participation and legitimacy problems in administration, manipulation of multiple identities in the administration, limitation of freedoms, and read over on results such as revolution, civil war or management changes. This study is based on the hypothesis that governance gap in the Middle East indicates the evolution of the Arab Uprising process. As a result of comparative and dynamic analysis of institutional indicators based on quantitative data, it is understood that the Arab Uprising process is not surprising in terms of internal and external actors, but does not provide suitable conditions for institutional change.
