Riassunto

In this thoroughly revised fifth edition of an established textbook, invited authorities provide comprehensive, country-by-country analysis of fundamental issues and critical contemporary events in the Middle East and North Africa. Seventeen countries are covered in this, the single most comprehensive and authoritative text for courses on the government, politics and economics of the contemporary Middle East and North Africa. New to this edition are fact sheets for each country, showing key data in an easy-to-find, easy-to-use format, and five specially drawn maps which provide students with more detail than previously on the region's geography. As with previous editions, chapters address each country's history, economics, politics and foreign policy, facilitating comparison and contrast across each country.
