Understanding and Interpreting Change in the Middle East and North Africa

Abstract

This volume showcases a broad range of approaches to understanding change in the MENA region. Our authors come from diverse theoretical backgrounds, including international relations, political economy, social movement theory, identity politics and gender studies. Moreover, the volume's chapters discuss an array of countries, events, actors and issues. The theme of interpreting recent change is consistent throughout the text-indeed, one of the greatest strengths of this volume is that it provides an opportunity to dra~v connections across countries, disciplines and events. The volume is organised into three parts, each of which addresses important questions about change in the MENA region. Show more
