Description

"This integrated, analytic text presents a comprehensive analysis transformation and development of the political economy in the Middle East over the past several decades. In this updated third edition of A Political Economy of the Middle East, the book retains its focus on the interaction of economic development processes, state systems, and social actors even as it also: * Explores the impacts of the Arab Spring and subsequent events in the region in a wholly new chapter; *Documents the many changes in demography, education, labor markets, urbanization, water and agriculture, and international labor migration in the Middle East in recent years; *Considers the effect of rising oil prices on reinforcement of authoritarian governance in the region; *Refines its assessment of {́OCLCbr#80}{OCLCbr#9C}the Washington Consensus{́OCLCbr#80}? to provide a more nuanced approach to the issue of the shifting balance of state and market in economic growth and reform; *Presents Islamism as a vital force in the region that is nonetheless a vast, diverse social movement with many conflicting participants."--Page [4] of cover. A landmark analysis of the ongoing socioeconomic transformations of the Middle East, now with an epilogue on the Arab Spring.
