Civil society in the Middle East. 2 (2001)Augustus Richard Norton "Civil Society in the Middle East provides, in two volumes, an unusually detailed and rich assessment of contemporary politics within the Middle East, and is, in this sense alone, virtually peerless. It offers a wealth of new material on unions, political parties and professional syndicates, and other components of civil society, as the authors weigh the prospects for political reform in the Middle East. While volume 1 (ISBN 90 04 10353 8) presents orginal studies of Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Syria, Tunisia, the West Bank and Gaza, volume 2 covers Morocco, the Sudan, Algeria, Yemen, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Israel and Lebanon. |
