The fourth edition, with new authors Melani Cammett and Ishac Diwan, has been thoroughly revised, with two new introductory chapters that provide an updated framework with which to understand and study the many changes in demography, education, labor markets, urbanization, water and agriculture, and international labor migration in the recent years. The new edition also includes: a new chapter that charts the political economy of the Gulf states and, in particular, the phenomenal growth of oil economies; a new chapter on the rise of "crony capitalism;" and increased coverage of the changes in civil society and social movements in the region, including an exploration of the causes, dynamics, consequences, and aftermath of the Arab uprisings.Working classMiddle EastMiddle EastEconomic conditions1979-Middle EastEconomic policyMiddle EastPolitics and government1979-Working class330.956POL023000HIS026000BUS068000bisacshCammett Melani Claire1969-769707Diwan IshacRichards Alan1946-Waterbury JohnOCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910819502403321A political economy of the Middle East4080173UNINA
