The protests have met violent responses from public authorities, progovernment militias and counter-demonstrators. The demonstrators used the social media to organize, communicate and raise awareness. Numerous factors such as dictatorship or absolute monarchy, government corruption, human rights violations, economic decline, unemployment, extreme poverty etc have led to the protests. Living standards and literacy rates have raised, availability of higher education has increased and the social movements have been more active in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Libya, Bahrain, Syria or elsewhere in the region of Middle East and North Africa. The tension between rising aspirations and the lack of government reforms may have been a driving factor of Arab Spring. Arab Spring has a long term effect on the countries which are economically dependent on Middle Eastern and North African Countries. Bangladesh is one of them. It has registered a 5 to 6 percent rate of annual growth since the mid-1990s. It has made important progress in the areas of primary education, population control and the reduction of hunger. However, the recent phenomenon of Arab Spring causes serious threat for Bangladesh in labor market, international trade as well as flow of remittance. This paper, based on general review of literature such as relevant journals, articles, newspapers and secondary statistics, attempts to pinpoint the causes and consequences of Arab Spring.
