Radical Arab nationalism emerged in the modern era as a
response to European political and cultural domination,
culminating in a series of military coups in the mid-20th
century in Egypt, Algeria, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Libya.
This movement heralded the dawn of modern, independent
nations that would close the economic, social,
scientific, and military gaps with the West while
building a unity of Arab nations.

Premier to carry through the needed reform and manage the
critical marketization process through the turbulent
1990s when China-s economy suffered many ups and downs.
