In the early 1960s the Middle East suffered from political instability, inefficiency of government, widespread poverty and inequality, low productivity, and a mounting population pressure on the region’s resources. With the exception of some of the oil-exporting countries, the entire region still suffers from these same burdens. There have been many studies in the economic development and industrialization of the region in recent years. This study is different, motivated by scepticism and a sense of intellectual frustration and apprehension because of the apparent inadequacy of socioeconomic and political development in the Middle East. First published in 1987.

Economic and Political Change in the Middle East
(The Middle East has been a busy stage for political, econ...)
The Middle East has been a busy stage for political, economic, and social drama in the last three decades. Activity has ranged from quiet, subtle attempts to control population through re-education, to political revolutions and wars that have kept the region in constant turmoil and created international crises. This comparative history and evaluation of the socio-economic development of twenty countries in the Middle East during this period reveals why, contrary to overall impressions, change and development have not been as positive or as rapid as believed. It helps separate measurable facts from fantasies generated by the oil wealth of the region and by some wishful thinking and politically oriented evaluators. In this explicitly interdisciplinary study, economic development is assessed within a theoretical framework tailored to fit the changing Middle East and other developing regions. The analysis combines quantitative and qualitative data reflecting the interdisciplinary approach and the level of development realized by the countries studied.
