| Democracy & Authoritarianism in the Arab World | |
| Nicola Pratt |
|
"This is the most sophisticated and powerful interrogation of the function on civil society in the Arab world available today. Through an effective historical analysis of the interplay of socioeconomic development, ideology, and institutional structures, Pratt explores how the space for political action across the Arab world has been defined, and how the potential for challenges to authoritarianism has been created. For anyone interested in how political reform can be mounted in this crucial region, the book provides compelling reading. " |
