The Arab Socialist Union was founded in Egypt in December 1962 by Gamal Abdel Nasser as the country's sole political party. The ASU grew out of his Free Officers Movement. The party's formation was just one part in Nasser's National Charter. The Charter set out an agenda of nationalisation, agrarian reform and constitutional reform, which formed the basis of ASU policy. The programme of nationalisation under Nasser saw seven billion Egyptian pounds of private assets transferred into the public sector. Banks, insurance companies, many large shipping companies, major heavy industries and major basic industries were converted to public control. Land reforms saw the maximum area of private land ownership successively reduced from 200 to 100 feddans. A 90% top rate of income tax was levied on income over five thousand Egyptian pounds. Boards of directors were required to have a minimum number of workers, and workers and peasants were guaranteed at least half of the seats in the People's Assembly. The Charter also saw a shift in emphasis away from Egyptian nationalism towards Arab unity. After Nasser's death in 1970, Anwar Sadat quickly moved away from his radical socialist position. The first sea change occurred in 1974, with Sadat's Infitah, or Open Door, economic policy, which allowed the emergence of a modern entrepreneurial and consumerist society. Then, in 1976, the beginning of political pluralism allowed three political platforms — left, centre and right — to form within the Arab Socialist Union. In 1978, the platforms were allowed to become fully independent political parties, and the ASU was disbanded.

Arab socialism in Syria has its origins in the Arab Socialist Party. This party grew out of Syria's Hizb al-Shabab (Youth Party). In 1950, Akram al-Hawrani took over leadership of the party and changed its name to the Arab Socialist Party. After intial successes, the ASU was banned by Syria's de facto leader, Adib ash-Shishakli, in 1952, being considered by him a too powerful political rival. Akram went into exile in Lebanon, and there agreed on a merger with the Arab Ba'th Party. The new party was the Ba'ath Party. In 1959, a Ba'th Party conference voted for a merger into the Arab Socialist Union within the United Arab Republic. However, dissent over union grew, and another conference, a year later, revesed the decision. This led to the fragmentation into a Nasserist pan-Arab ASU faction and the more nationalist Ba'th faction. In 1973, the Syrian branch of the international ASU, broke away to form the Arab Socialist Union (Syria) as part of the National Progressive Front, distancing itself from Anwar Sadat's policies in Egypt.

Many aspects of Muammar al-Qaddafi's Libyan revolution were based on that of Gamal Abdel Nasser. Like Nasser, Qaddafi seized power with a Free Officers Movement, which, in 1971 became the Arab Socialist Union. Like its Egyptian counterpart, the Libyan ASU was the sole legal party, and was designed as a vehicle for integrated national expression rather than as a political party. In 1972, Qaddafi pushed hard for the formation of a Federation of Arab Republics, combining Libya with Egypt and Syria under his leadership, but the plan never took off. 1974, saw an attept for union with Tunisia also fail. Colonel Muammar al-Qaddafi Muammar Abu Minyar al-Qaddafi 1 (Arabic: معمر القذافي Mu`ammar al-Qadhdhāfī) (born circa 1942 near Sirte, Libya), has been the leader of Libya since 1969. ...
