Publisher description
Zusammenfassung:This integrated, analytic text presents a comprehensive analysis of the transformation of the political economy of development in the contemporary Middle East over the past several decades. Extensively rewritten and revised, this third edition retains a focus on the interaction of economic development processes, state systems, and social actors even as it also: 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 "the Washington Consensus" 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.
