I think the arab spring should be considered a failiure because there's lots of violence being involved in the arab spring. This did't make anything better it only made everything worse. In the text they mentioned what happened. ''Security forces used armored vehicles vehicles, bulldozers, tear gas, birdshot, live ammunition, and snipers to raze encampments of protesters who supported the deposed Islamist president. The confrontation lasted more than 12 hours and turned parts of cairo into a war zone. More than 600 people were killed and close to 4,000 injured.'' (page 6 upfont magazine) This quote from the text shows how violent the arab spring got. This got protesters no where.
I think the region cannot achieve democratic reforms over time because there was so many protesters and people died because of this. There was so much damage done they will not recover until they get a new ruler that the people of the arab world prefer.
