从２０世纪初到五六十年代，阿拉伯民族主义作为摆脱异族压迫和外来统治、争取民族独立、发展民族经济、振兴阿拉伯民族的强大社会思潮和运动，长期在中东政治中居支配地位。７０年代后，虽然在政治领域，阿拉伯民族主义让位于国家民族主义，但在经济和文化领域仍很活跃，它直接影响着中东的未来和社会发展。 From the early twentieth century to the fifties and sixties, Arab nationalism has long dominated the Middle East politics as a powerful social trend and movement to get rid of the oppression and alien domination of other nations, fight for national independence, develop the national economy and rejuvenate the Arab nation. After the 1970s, although Arab nationalism gave way to national nationalism in the political field, it remained active in the economic and cultural fields and directly affected the future and social development in the Middle East.
