A Political Economy of the Middle East

Author: Alan Richards

This integrated, analytic text presents a comprehensive analysis of the transformation of the political economy of the entire contemporary Middle East region over the past several decades. As did the first edition, this new edition, extensively rewritten and revised, stresses how different development strategies have contributed to the creation of powerful interests that now often block needed change. The book also retains its focus on the interaction of economic development processes, state systems, and social actors. The revisions not only include much new data and evidence but also take into account emerging issues, such as youth unemployment, impending water shortages, the experience with structural adjustment, pressures for democratization, and the rise of political Islam. The authors also give special attention to the impact of such recent international events as the collapse of the oil boom, the end of the Cold War, and Operation Desert Storm.

Stressing the interrelation of politics and development strategies--including industrialization based on import substitution, agricultural export-led growth, and oil rentier development--the authors explain how different strategies have contributed to class formation and to the definition of powerful new interests, not only within governmental structures but also within whole societies that have moved far from their traditional agricultural base.
