Trump's Transactional Diplomacy
The US‐Israeli war on Iran appears to demonstrate the perils of a transactional diplomacy that dismisses the rules‐based, liberal international order in pursuit of American dominance. Much of the growing literature assumes transactional diplomacy will be a temporary, Trump‐driven departure from traditional, values‐based statecraft. By contrast, while we harbor reservations about transactionalism, we refuse to embrace such predetermined conclusion…
Political Economy, Power, and Cultural Heritage in the Arab World
The authors of this groundbreaking, multidisciplinary collection are concerned with the growing politicization of cultural heritage in the Arab world. Adopting the unifying concept of political economy, they explore how regimes manipulate cultural heritage—and sometimes even deliberately erase it—to support their own legitimacy.
From Rebuilding to Restoring Political Order
A new approach to rebuilding collapsed states is being trialed in the Arab world, most conspicuously by the Trump administration but with broad international support. This replaces the previous model—favoring democratic building blocks like inclusion, compromise, reconciliation, accountability, and citizenship—which is now seen as too costly. The new paradigm instead elevates powerful actors who can impose political and social order, backed by an…
Security assistance, securitization, security systems, and insecurity in the Mediterranean mashriq and maghreb
The Middle East and North Africa, of which the southern and eastern Mediterranean sub-region constitutes the bulk of the population and territory, is the world’s most securitized region. It is also the leading recipient of security assistance but provides the least security of any global region. A related paradox is that this region, the states of which are the world’s least democratic, receives the bulk of its security assistance from democracie…

The rewards of failure
The Egyptian military, having been bogged down for almost five years in a losing war in Yemen, had to deal with a crushing defeat in June 1967. Similar defeats elsewhere, such as in Argentina and Greece, have led to militaries being removed from power. In Egypt, however, Nasser salvaged his and the military’s rule by purging elements of the High Command, by repressing the nascent protest movement and by calling in the Soviets to rebuild and essen…

Whither the Arab Spring? 1989 or 1848?
Potential Arab democratic transitions will face more substantial obstacles than Eastern Europe did in 1989. Those obstacles include the intense securitisation of the Middle East, the absence of agreed upon models for future polities and economies, the residual power of authoritarian systems, and the limited capacities of newly emerging political and civil societies. Even the poster children of the Arab Spring, Tunisia and Egypt, are not well equi…
The Political Economy of the Arab Spring
The Precarious Economics of Arab Springs
The much-hoped-for virtuous spiral that would lift Egypt and the broader Arab world out of economic stagnation and strengthen democracy seems far away
Economic Involvements of Militaries
Middle East militaries can be arrayed along a continuum from more to less involvement in national economies, albeit with a few outliers. At the maximum engagement end are Egypt and Iran. In both countries, as in Pakistan, one can reasonably refer to the existence of a “Military, Inc.” The Egyptian Ministry of Defense and its subordinate Ministry of Military Production preside over a sprawling economic empire that directly owns companies active in…
Development Models in Muslim ContextsChinese, 'Islamic' and Neo-liberal Alternatives
This book examines the characteristics of the Chinese economic development model and its reception in Africa and Latin America. It also investigates the current competition over governance models in the Muslim world and asks which model or models will guide development in Muslim countries
Debating Arab Authoritarianism
This volume is based on papers delivered to a 2004 workshop organized under the auspices of the European University Institute, a further testament to the leading role that its Robert Schuman Centre is playing in bringing together Middle East specialists to analyse and discuss vital contemporary issues. The term ‘debating’ in the title reflects the fact that the authors have different views on the dynamics and durability of Arab authoritarianism. …

Published in Association with the Institute for the Study of Muslim Civilisations GBS_insertPreviewButtonPopup('ISBN:9780748639687); Recent discussions of the 'Chinese economic development model', the emergence of an alternative 'Muslim model' over the past quarter century and the faltering globalisation of the 'Washington Consensus' all point to the need to investigate more systematically the nature of these models and their competitive attracti…

The Political Economy of the Arab Spring
Baathism in practice
In the wake of Egyptian-Israeli negotiations at Camp David in 1978 and the Baghdad Summit reactions in November of that year to those negotiations, the rulers of Syria and Iraq announced their intention to unite their two countries. While unifying Arab ranks in the face of Sadat's 'sell-out' to the US and Israel was a strong motivation for the Baathists in Syria and Iraq to bury the hatchet in their smoldering feud, there were for both sides addi…
Professional Syndicates in Egyptian Politics, 1952–1970
In recent years the political roles of the People's Assembly, the Arab Socialist Union, town and village councils, labor unions, and other Egyptian governmental structures have been analyzed. Interestingly enough, most observers would probably agree that the Egyptian parliament is for the most part a rubber stamp; that Egypt is a partyless and not a one-party state; that it lacks a viable system of local government as distinct from the prevailing…
Globalization and the Politics of Development in the Middle East
Agrarian Bourgeoisie, Semiproletarians, and the Egyptian State
From Morocco to Iraq, Arab polities and economies appear to be liberalizing. The holding of comparatively free elections, easing of media censorship, and invigoration of associational activity have accompanied relaxation of political control by single parties. Economic liberalization has paralleled these political changes. Privatization, currency devaluations and partial flotations, rejuvenation of capital markets, reductions of subsidies on basi…

Globalization and the Politics of Development in the Middle East
At the beginning of the twenty-first century countries in the Middle East and North Africa contend with the threats and opportunities of economic globalization, the driving force of change in the contemporary world. As the authors confirm in their straightforward and, at times, irreverent analysis of the regions' response to these challenges, it is globalization which is the key to an understanding of economic reform. Through an investigation of …
