- catalog abstract "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. It stresses how different development strategies have contributed to the creation of powerful interests that now often block needed change, and focuses on the interaction of economic development processes, state systems, and social actors. It also discusses emerging issues, such as youth unemployment, impending water shortages, the experience with structural adjustment, pressures for democratization, and the rise of political Islam. Special attention is given to the impact of such international events as the collapse of the oil boom, the end of the Cold War, and Operation Desert Storm.".
