War, conflict, and terrorism define the face of contemporary West
Asia (Middle East). However, there are far more important issues
and challenges that are currently troubling the governments of West
Asian nations. These include: political, economic, and social
challenges * Islamic militancy * growing unemployment * democratic
reforms * human rights * the living conditions of expatriates *
urbanization. Added to this list are environmental risks with such
dimensions as over-fishing, soil and water pollution by the
petroleum industry, the scarcity of fresh water, and
desertification. This book - containing 11 contributions by
scholars in the field - deals with these internal challenges of the
region.
