It examines the state of the Arab world at the end of 2023, highlighting various changes and transformations.
The research employs a descriptive approach, utilizing content analysis to explore the economic and technological growth and integration contexts within the Arab world. The starting point involves assessing the current growth levels in Arab countries and the efforts made toward achieving economic and technological integration among them.
The study reviews various approaches and previous studies concerning the initial steps toward integration, culminating in analyzing current challenges that emerge within the framework of inter-Arab relations.

This fragility stems from significant disparities caused by financial setbacks, crises, and technological gaps. These factors and the geopolitical conditions that have characterized the region over successive periods have diminished the prospects for achieving the desired level of integration.
