The article aims to analyse the situation in the MENA and neighbouring countries one decade after the so-called Arab Spring. The purpose of this study also is to analyze the importance of the COVID-19 pandemic, which hampered the development of protests in the region by providing governments with a wide range of tools for public restraint and control. These measures effectively and in a relatively short period of time have significantly reduced public and opposition activities, hampering the momentum that could lead to a 'second Arab Spring'. The study uses a qualitative method - a document analysis approach - to synthesize information from various sources to ensure the validity of the information obtained.(original abstract)

Celem artykułu jest analiza sytuacji w regionie MENA i krajach sąsiednich dekadę po tzw. arabskiej wiośnie oraz znaczenia pandemii COVID-19, która w opinii autora zahamowała rozwój protestów w regionie. Dostarczyła rządom szerokiego wachlarza narzędzi do ograniczania i kontroli społeczeństwa. Środki te skutecznie i w stosunkowo krótkim czasie ograniczyły aktywność społeczną i opozycyjną hamując impet, który mógł doprowadzić do "drugiej arabskiej wiosny". W procesie badawczym autor wykorzystał ogólnometodologiczne zasady poznania odnoszące się do sytuacji regionu MENA, m.in. metodę indukcyjną, dedukcyjną, filologiczną, metodę geograficzną, metodę analizy i syntezy, porównanie, uogólnienie,analogię, wnioskowanie i weryfikację. W celu realizacji zadań badawczych, autor przyjął metody badawcze wspólne dla nauk humanistycznych i nauk o bezpieczeństwie.(abstrakt oryginalny)
