This study aims to describe and analyze the impact of political elites on the fragility of Arab countries in political, economic, social, and cultural development. Therefore, this study attempts to answer this question: How and why do available data and literature refer to most Arab countries, e.g., Libya, as fragile or semi-fragile states? The initial answer to this question leads us to develop the following hypothesis, which refers to the lack of coordination and cooperation of Arab elites in developing their countries in various fields. Therefore, the success of political elites in some Gulf countries and their failure in most other Arab states for various reasons, perhaps most notably the political role of Arab political elites.
Furthermore, this study reached several results, perhaps most notably the critical role that political elites may play in the progress or backwardness of their countries through their achievement of the private interest at the expense of public interests. Elites may adopt public policies that achieve practical goals that benefit everyone; therefore, their countries may achieve the desired progress. This study has confirmed a statistically significant relationship (r = 0.995) between the independent variable of political elites on the one hand and the dependent variable of the fragility of Arab countries and Libya on the other hand.
