This book examines women, money, and political participation in the
Middle East and North Africa focusing on women’s capacity to
engage local political systems. In particular, it considers whether
and how this engagement is facilitated through specific types of
financial flows from abroad. Arab countries are well-known rentier
states, and so a prime destination for foreign aid, worker
remittances, and oil-related investment. Alongside other
factors these external monies have elicited dramatic shifts in
gender-related social norms and expectations both from the state
and the domestic population, affording certain women the
opportunity to enter the political arena, while leaving
others behind. The research presented here expands the discussion
of women in rentier political economy and highlights their roles as
participants and agents within regional templates for economic
development.
