This study uses the database of the Arab Barometer Survey to investigate the relationship between university education and support for democracy in the following 10 Arab states: Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Tunisia, and Yemen. With its focus on the Arab region, and using data specifically targeting people with a university education, this study offers a different angle to the relationship between education and democracy. Previous attempts to analyze this link have led to some contradictory conclusions, with some reporting on the existence of a positive correlation and others denying it. The findings of this research suggest that, in the states studied, there is no direct link between an individual receiving a university education and support for a democratic system of government; rather, there are other factors at play such as the quality of general education and its wide-ranging reach to all members of society.
