Lust (political science, Yale U.) brings together contributors who specialize in political science, sociology, history, and anthropology in the Middle East, Europe, and the US to introduce students and policy makers to the Middle East and its domestic, regional, and international contexts. The 25 chapters first address the region's major issues in the areas of social change; political economy of development; institutions and governance; actors, public opinion, and participation; international politics; and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They then profile 17 countries, their history, political economy, societal transformations, domestic institutions, political participation, and regional and foreign policy. This edition has a new editor and contributors; new chapters on domestic issues and institutions; new country profiles of Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia; new topics; rewritten and reorganized chapters to match the overview section; and more maps, figures, and tables.
