Full Description
This tenth edition of Government and Politics of the Middle East and North Africa: Development, Democracy, and Dictatorship offers a definitive and timely guide to the political landscapes of one of the world's most dynamic regions.
Bringing together fully revised chapters from leading scholars, this landmark volume examines the historical trajectories, political institutions, economic development, and foreign policies of twenty countries across the Middle East and North Africa. Covering events and transformations from the twentieth century until the current day, it provides clear, comparative insights into the Arab world, Israel, Türkiye, and Iran. Each country chapter follows a consistent structure, allowing readers to navigate complex domestic politics and foreign relations with ease, while data tables, maps, fact boxes, and annotated bibliographies enrich understanding and facilitate further study.
An essential resource for students, researchers, and anyone seeking a deeper grasp of the region, this edition - used alone or alongside its companion volume, The Societies of the Middle East and North Africa - offers a comprehensive and accessible foundation for exploring the interplay of development, democracy, and dictatorship in the Middle East.
