The Economic and Political Aftermath of the Arab Spring

Edited by Carlo Altomonte (carlo.altomonte@unibocconi.it) and Massimiliano Ferrara (massimiliano.ferrara@unirc.it)

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The economies of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region have always been characterized by economic volatility and social disparities. The recent ‘Arab Spring’ wave of protests has increased political uncertainty and instability in the region, and this timely book provides an in-depth analysis of the subsequent changes from economic, political and environmental perspectives. The international contributors provide a comprehensive overview of the situation in the Mediterranean Basin, addressing a wide range of contributing factors including: • productivity and innovation • trade and foreign investment • changing geo-political equilibria • labour markets and the role of women • the environment, climate change and energy sourcing.
