Language Policy and Girls’ Education in Francophone West and Central Africa
Across Africa, weak states, poverty, high fertility, and early marriage pose barriers to girls’ schooling. Francophone West and Central Africa registers the continent’s lowest female literacy rates, in part because it inherited a weak educational infrastructure at independence, and is home to Muslim communities that initially rejected schools of Christian origin. Policies insisting on exclusively French-medium instruction have also been an obstac…
Politics and Society in the Contemporary Middle East
This cutting-edge, and at the same time lively and accessible, examination of the domestic politics of the Middle East has been carefully designed to meet the needs of the university classroom. Eight thematic chapters introduce the subject and explore the region-wide dynamics of governments and oppositions, international politics, political economy, civil society, religion and politics, identity politics, and gender and family issues. These theme…
Understanding the Success of Mass Civic Protest in Tunisia
On the surface, the 2011 Tunisian Revolution seems attributable primarily to economic causes, social media, and the army’s refusal to back the regime of President Zine El-‘Abidine Ben ‘Ali. A deeper look reveals that its success depended on the interaction between the structural brittleness of a regime that had alienated many key civilian constituencies and the emergence of sustained, cross-class, geographically widespread, mass demonstrations. T…
War, Resisting the West, and Women's Labor
Countries with Muslim-majority populations often are viewed as places where women are particularly oppressed. To a degree, this perception reflects reality. Fish (2002) demonstrates that, relative to Catholic countries, Muslim countries are associated with larger male–female literacy gaps, higher male–female population sex ratios (which can reflect poorer treatment of females), and lower scores on the United Nations Development Program's (UNDP's)…

Party Systems and Regime Formation in the Modern Middle East
Since 1950 competitive party politics and free and fair elections have to a significant extent determined who governs Turkey.1 Of all the modern states to emerge from the ruins of the Ottoman Empire, Turkey alone evolved such competitive political institutions. Everywhere else in the Middle East, armies, families, hegemonic single parties, or monarchs came to dictate the rules and parameters of politics. Why did competitive electoral politics eme…
Hard Times
The essays contained in this volume challenge and complement standard treatments of Turkish history during the 1930s. Typically, the 1930s are cast as a decade that opened with the Turkish economy reeling from the effects of the Great Depression. Decisionmakers in the ruling Republican People's Party (RPP) were not without a response, however. They introduced statist economic policies whereby the Turkish state began to play an augmented role in p…
Parties, parliament and political dissent in Tunisia
The Ben Ali regime (1987‐present) has disappointed the many who believed that the post‐Bourguiba era would bring substantial political pluralisation to Tunisia. While the regime claims to have taken significant steps toward democracy, close examination of the current political landscape reveals a very different picture. The press is neither free nor plural. The ruling party continues to monopolise politics while the opposition languishes. Opposit…
The Expression of Political Dissent in the Middle East
Beginning in the early 1970s, a large number of countries initiated transitions from forms of authoritarian rule to democracy.The research for this essay was made possible by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship as well as support from the American Research Institute in Turkey, the Institute for Turkish Studies, and Princeton University's Center for International Studies and Council on Regional Studies.
