From Arab socialism to neoliberalism : the politics of immiseration -- Arab socialism in retrospect -- The devastation of peace in Egypt -- The infeasibility of revolution in Syria -- Iraq--then and now -- The perverse transformation -- Permanent war in the Arab world.Conditions of malnutrition, conflict, or a combination of both characterize many Arab countries, but this was not always so. As in much of the developing world, the immediate post-independence period represented an age of hope and relative prosperity. But imperialism did not sleep while these countries developed, and it soon intervened to destroy these post-independence achievements. The two principal defeats and losses of territory to Israel in 1967 and 1973, as well as the others that followed, left in their wake more than the destruction of assets and the loss of human lives: the Arab World lost its ideology of resistance. The Unmaking of Arab Socialism is an attempt to understand the reasons for Arab world's developmental descent from the pinnacle of Arab socialism to its present desolate conditions through an examination of the post-colonial histories of Egypt, Syria, and Iraq.Anthem frontiers of global political economy.SocialismArab countriesNeoliberalismArab countriesEconomic developmentArab countriesArab countriesEconomic conditionsArab countriesPolitics and government1945-SocialismNeoliberalismEconomic development330.9174927Kadri Ali878627MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910258751003321The unmaking of Arab socialism2106477UNINA
