But the transition can be more orderly, more peaceful, and less disruptive if states that command immense resources and wealth generously support the poorer countries – and back the reforms that all Arab countries need. Existing institutions with proven track records, such as the Arab Fund, can help, but this requires scaling up their funds dramatically.
由此可以看出，富油国和领导层别想指望能孤立于风起云涌的事件之外不受影响。阿拉伯地区的未来也是他们的未来，从2011年开始的转型释放了不可阻挡的能量。但转型可以更有序、更和平、更少破坏，只要手握巨大资源和财富的国家支持较贫困的国家——同时也支持所有阿拉伯国家所需要的改革。有着成功记录的现有机构，比如阿拉伯基金，可以起到作用，但基金规模必须大大扩大。
