Political Economies of the Middle East and North Africa

By www.wiley.com
Published On :: 2020-04-14T04:00:00Z


 
Despite its oil wealth, the Middle East and North Africa is economically stagnating. Growth rates are comparatively unfavorable and insufficient to substantially improve citizens’ lives. Whether this economic inertia can be overcome or will continue into the indefinite future is a vital question that confronts both the region and the world. 

In this book leading Middle East scholar Robert Springborg discusses the economic future of this region by
