With recent upheavals in the Middle East and North Africa, the eighth edition of ``The Government and Politics of the Middle East and North Africa`` has been thoroughly revised to provide a necessary, comprehensive and current examination of the domestic politics and foreign policies of this crucial region.
A newly expanded introduction provides students with a comparative and thematic overview of the region, from its political regimes and electoral institutions to its economic and social concerns.
Each chapter, written by an invited specialist, uses a common framework to explore the historical background, social and political environment, political structure and dynamics, and foreign policy of a country.
Chapters are augmented by a country map, a box providing key facts, and an annotated bibliography summarizing the major literature.
