  • - Employment, Poverty Reduction and Integration
     
    523,95 kr.

    This book explores the link between trade policy-making, employment generation and poverty reduction in Arab countries.

  • - Petro Populism, Islam and Economic Sanctions
     
    476,95 kr.

    The relationship between religion and the state has entered a new phase ever since the Iranian Revolution more than three decades ago. The recent mass uprisings against autocratic rulers in the Arab world have highlighted the potency of Islamist forces in post-revolutionary societies in the region, a force arguably unlocked first by IranΓÇÖs version of the ΓÇÿspringΓÇÖ three decades ago. The economic ramifications of these uprisings are of special interest at a time when the possibility of the creation of Islamic states can have implications for their economic policy and performance again. A study of the Iranian experience in itself can offer rare insights whether for its own features and characteristics or for its possible lessons and implications for recent events in the region. This book is concerned with the economic aspects and consequences of the Iranian Revolution in general and its interaction with the international economy in particular. Many studies have to date dealt with IranΓÇÖs economic challenges, policies and performance in the post-revolutionary period but its interaction with the international economy ΓÇô although of growing importance ΓÇô has not received sufficient attention. The contributions in this volume by experts in the field address ways in which in the span of three decades, IranΓÇÖs economy has evolved from a strong aspiration to develop an ΓÇÿindependent economyΓÇÖ to grappling with debilitating international economic sanctions.

    1.527,95 kr.

    Unlike other books on the Arab uprisings which focus on why they occurred, this book looks instead towards the future of three countries - Syria, Libya and Yemen - where the violence and instability initiated by the uprisings persist. It additionally examines the case of Iraq which continues to suffer from a precarious political situation.

  • af Mustapha K Nabli
    1.906,95 kr.

    This book identifies the differences in growth and development, and the various factors lying behind them, across both Middle East and North African (MENA) and East Asian countries over the 1960¿2020 period. It considers a very wide range of factors, compares initial situations, institutions, and government policies, the dynamic responses to changing circumstances, and discusses the inability of the governments of the MENA region to achieve not only political reform, but also the kinds of economic reform that would allow their citizens to prosper in an increasingly globalized world. The book focuses on Tunisia. Since its independence in 1956 until 2010, Tunisia had considerable success relative to many other MENA countries, but was somewhat less successful relative to East Asian countries. Since 2010, however, while transitioning away from autocracy to democracy, it has been in rather serious economic decline. The book highlights how both the factors identified as enabling Tunisia's initial success and those leading to its subsequent decline can provide many useful insights for improving the management of economic development across the whole MENA region and perhaps also to developing countries throughout the world.

    1.986,95 kr.

    This book presents a comprehensive overview of the Iranian economy, considering the full range of key issues, including the oil sector, banks and financial markets, social policies, attempts at reform, and the impact of UN-imposed sanctions. It argues that the success of other developing countries demonstrates that a more open and market driven economy is needed in Iran; that the present government of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is well-placed politically to implement reforms and is beginning to do so, despite populist rhetoric; but that the prospects for success are severely limited by sanctions and the hostile international political climate.
