Description

The first systematic comparative analysis of political behavior throughout the entire Arab world, from Morocco to Kuwait.

In an attempt to explain why the Arab world remains in ferment, Hudson discusses such crucial factors as Arab and Islamic identity, ethnic and religious minorities, the crisis of authority, the effects of imperialism, and modernization. "An impressive work of scholarship on the political culture and changing society of the entire Arab World.

The author gives us a good picture of each country as he pursues his general themes of legitimacy, nationalism, Arabism, and the inevitable ‘modernization.’"-- Foreign Affairs "Hudson has succeeded brilliantly in surveying and analyzing the entire range of contemporary Arab politics."-- Library Journal "Here for the first time is a really good general textbook of Middle Eastern politics. . . . Hudson has managed to provide detailed information about each Arab country within a sophisticated overall analytical framework, which substantially explains the situation in each country."-- Malcolm H.

Kerr, Middle Eastern Studies Association Bulletin "What can be said with certainty is that all those professionally concerned with the Middle East will have to cope with this book in one way or another. . . . What is outstanding is its combination of rigorous analysis and breadth of coverage.

If the book’s immediate concerns are those of the political scientist, its findings and implications are important to all of us."-- Alan W.

Horton, The Middle East Journal
