Description
Despite generally weak economic performances, Arab regimes have overcome the threat of domestic instability and the consequent threat to their own survival by implementing partial and makeshift economic reforms. This study includes two essays that analyze some of the strengths and weakness of Arab states from an economic perspective and examines the way in which Arab regimes have responded to acute socio-economic problems.
