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. 410 0$aAnthem frontiers of global political economy. 606 $aSocialism$zArab countries 606 $aNeoliberalism$zArab countries 606 $aEconomic development$zArab countries 607 $aArab countries$xEconomic conditions 607 $aArab countries$xPolitics and government$y1945- 615 0$aSocialism 615 0$aNeoliberalism 615 0$aEconomic development 676 $a330.9174927 700 $aKadri$b Ali$0878627 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910258751003321 996 $aThe unmaking of Arab socialism$92106477 997 $aUNINA
