As the authors confirm in their straightforward and, at times, irreverent analysis of the regions' response to these challenges, it is globalization which is the key to an understanding of economic reform. Through an investigation of the structures of state and civil society, including financial systems, they also demonstrate that there is a direct correlation between economic performance and democratization. In other words, the more liberal the polity, the more effective is its economy in responding to globalization. With its interesting and incisive approach to the politics and economics of the Middle East and North Africa, this will be an essential purchase for students and policy-makers and anyone trying to come to grips with economic globalization generally. 410 0$aContemporary Middle East ;$v1. 517 3 $aGlobalization & the Politics of Development in the Middle East 606 $aGlobalization 607 $aMiddle East$xEconomic conditions$y1979- 607 $aMiddle East$xPolitics and government$y1979- 615 0$aGlobalization. 676 $a338.956 700 $aHenry$b Clement M.$f1937-$032458 702 $aSpringborg$b Robert 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783086003321 996 $aGlobalization and the politics of development in the Middle East$93830113 997 $aUNINA
