Women Entrepreneurs in the Middle East:Context, Ecosystems, and Future Perspectives for the Region

Edited by Dina Modestus Nziku, Léo-Paul Dana, Helene Balslev Clausen and Aidin Salamzadeh (salamzadehaidin@gmail.com)

in World Scientific Books from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: Straddling North Africa and Western Asia, the Middle East has been a cradle of civilisation and entrepreneurship — well before the arrival of Islam. In this region, gender roles were traditionally specified by culture, with women often expected to stay within the family environment, while men would trade in society at large. This book contributes to the literature on a highly neglected field of study: women entrepreneurs in the Middle East. Recognising that entrepreneurship does not take place in a vacuum, it focuses on contexts, and the ecosystems of this region with largely patriarchal societies, that are influenced by culture, religion, and colonial experience.
