What drives public trust in the military in non-democracies
This article investigates the conditions that lead to heightened trust in the military in non-democracies through an empirical study of post-2011 Libya. Drawing on the political science and sociology literatures on institutional trust in non-democratic contexts, we develop hypotheses linking public trust in the military to personal safety, political interest, Islamist orientation, trust in institutions, regionalism, and support for democracy. Usi…
Public Sector Reform
In the brief period since the “Arab Spring” captured the world’s attention in 2011, the political landscape throughout the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) has become the topic of intense hope, concern, and uncertainty. Four years into the transition, it is impossible to predict where the scope and trajectory of change will ultimately head. While the bloodiest of the civil conflicts in Syria has run unabated, other conflicts are back in full f…
The Logic of Authoritarian Bargains
Dictatorships do not survive by repression alone. Rather, dictatorial rule is often explained as an “authoritarian bargain” by which citizens relinquish political rights for economic security. The applicability of the authoritarian bargain to decision‐making in non‐democratic states, however, has not been thoroughly examined. We conceptualize this bargain as a simple game between a representative citizen and an autocrat who faces the threat of in…
Development, Growth and Policy Reform in the Middle East and North Africa since 1950
The September 11 terrorist attacks ignited global interest in the Middle East. Observers in the region and abroad were quick to highlight the development "deficits" in Middle Eastern countries which have been linked to everything from structural economic imbalances to deficient political systems, the curse of natural resources, and even culture and religion. This paper reviews the development history of the Middle East and North Africa region in …
Democracy, Inequality, and Inflation
Do democracies suffer higher inflation than nondemocracies? We identify two competing hypotheses regarding the impact of democracy on inflation. In the "populist" approach, inflation is the result of public demands for transfers financed by the inflation tax, suggesting that electoral competition will increase inflation. In the "state-capture" approach, inflation is a result of pressure from elites who derive private benefits from money creation,…
