This research paper addresses to research in reality of the election in the Arab world,
which have anthropology dimensions with its significance in political anthropology,
especially at the level of traditional social units that still have an impact on electoral
behavior and on political culture of the community, the election game has practiced
in the Arab regimes throughout varying degrees, but it came to give democratic
legitimacy to serve only high classrs, or rulers class .those fake elections are imposed
or at least results-oriented, and what is observed is that in those political regimes, the
role of elections as a mechanism for the exercise of popular democracy has been
ridiculised. The political culture associated with personal features and the nature of
the components of social construction, in contemporary Arab society, despite the
manifestations of modernity and modernization in the official discours, the society
remains predominantly overwhilmed by tribal loyalties in the mechanisms of
production of the political elites, and in the recruitment and renewal of elected elites.
It is the most prominent manifestations by indicating those features: the phenomenon
of kinship power, competition between the culture of idealism and culture of realism,
representations and perceptions of the Arab citizenship to its bitter reality, the limited
acceptance of social change, Personalization of power roles, the folkloric caracter of
the election campaigns, in addition to that Arab tribal community characterized by
conflictual culture, and the scarf of "holiness" to the primitif family loyalty. Finaly
the Arab regimes and its elites encourage tribalism and primitive loyalties infomaly
through the division of the electoral districts, noting that the Arab countries create a
significant number of electoral districts in rural areas, well known with its diffusion
and extensiveness of tribalism and traditional clanism.
Keywords: Democratiztion, election's culture, tribalism, family power, "El-
Assabiiah", the
sacred, conflict, folklore's caracter, ritual practices.
