Handbook of Political Science Research on the Middle East and North Africa

Facilitating research on Middle Eastern and North African politics, this volume is a major reference work. A series of chapters describe the post-World War II research on the politics of the states and of the Palestinians of the region. The literature on international relations of the region is reviewed and the approach to political economy is discussed. The chapters also identify the gaps in the literature and fruitful areas for future research. The chapter references should be useful for those seeking to study the politics of the region. Annotations enable the reader to better select works for further research. This volume provides a complete analysis of the state of the field, an agenda for future research and a detailed, annotated bibliography of the published research.
