The Government and Politics of the Middle East and North Africa

By Bernard Reich and David E. Long

Book Overview

With recent upheavals in the Middle East and North Africa, the eighth edition of "The Government and Politics of the Middle East and North Africa" has been thoroughly revised to provide a necessary, comprehensive and current examination of the domestic politics and foreign policies of this crucial region. A newly expanded introduction provides students with a comparative and thematic overview of the region, from its political regimes and electoral institutions to its economic and social concerns. Each chapter, written by an invited specialist, uses a common framework to explore the historical background, social and political environment, political structure and dynamics, and foreign policy of a country. Chapters are augmented by a country map, a box providing key facts, and an annotated bibliography summarizing the major literature.
