Book Description
Editorial Reviews
. . . the only book to my knowledge that provides a comprehensive and integrated politico-economic analysis of Arab economic performance and prospects. It will fill a big need in college syllabi . . . .
Farrukh Iqbal, World Bank
. . . a major addition to a very slim literature on an important issue.
Patrick Clawson, Washington Institute for Near East Policy
This book fulfills a major gap in the literature on Middle Eastern economies. With universities struggling to add courses on the political economy of the Middle East, this volume will prove to be a great resource. . . . Essential.
Choice
. . . this book is very valuable and extremely timely for anyone who has an interest in this topic. It is well written and provides us with an analysis that is short, yet very thorough and comprehensive. There is an extensive presentation of data and indicators, covering issues ranging from productivity and income to happiness, demographics, foreign investment and political stability.
