Why have Arab states been so oppressively strong in some areas but so devastatingly weak in others? How do those patterns affect politics, economics, and society across the region? The state stands at the center of the analysis of politics in the Middle East, but has rarely been the primary focus of systematic theoretical analysis. Making Sense of the Arab State brings together top scholars from diverse theoretical orientations to address some of the most critically important questions facing the region today. The authors grapple with enduring questions such as the uneven development of state capacity, the failures of developmentalism and governance, the centrality of regime security and survival concerns, the excesses of surveillance and control, and the increasing personalization of power. Making Sense of the Arab State will be a must-read for scholars of the Middle East and of comparative politics more broadly. 410 0$aWeiser Center for Emerging Democracies series. 606 $aPolitical culture$zMiddle East 606 $aState, The$xSocial aspects$zMiddle East 607 $aMiddle East$xPolitics and government$y1945- 615 0$aPolitical culture 615 0$aState, The$xSocial aspects 686 $aPOL000000$aPOL009000$aPOL059000$2bisacsh 700 $aHeydemann$b Steven$0464886 701 $aLynch$b Marc$01376943 801 0$bEYM 801 1$bEYM 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910878301003321 996 $aMaking Sense of the Arab State$94205878 997 $aUNINA
