'This is a superb volume on a critically important topic that often
does not receive the careful attention it deserves. The book is
impressive in both breadth and depth as it offers incisive analyses
on significant issues related to business politics across the
Middle East, especially insofar as public and private sector
reforms and the 2011 uprisings are concerned. With essays rich in
empirical data and with robust analytical frameworks, this is a
significant contribution to the literature on the political economy
of the Middle East.'
*Mehran Kamrava, Professor and Director of the Center for
International and Regional Studies at the Georgetown University'
School of Foreign Service in Qatar*
'After years of apparent political stability, economic growth and
liberal reform, the Middle East is in turmoil and many of the
business groups that anchored this development have all but
vanished from the political scene. For those who want to understand
this dynamic - who are the business leaders, what has been their
impact, and what are their prospects now? - this volume provides
valuable insight.'
*Lisa Anderson, President of The American University in Cairo*
