In a series of essays by an international group of scholars and
policy makers, this book provides the first sustained look at
democracy and democratic movements in the Middle East. Moving
beyond a concern with the growth of Islamicist movements and
nationalist states, the authors probe the historical experiences of
the last hundred years and the social conflict over the past decade
centering on democratic structures and processes from North Africa
to Turkey, Iraq, and Iran. The essays explore from theoretical,
descriptive, and political perspectives questions of democracy,
freedom, and rule of law in a region that is usually thought of as
lacking in all these respects. In recent years there has been a
marked growth in the number and influences of social movements and
organizations working to expand social, political, and civil
rights, and to constrain the power of the states in many countries
in the Middle East. At the same time many of the regimes in the
area have introduced practices and institutions designed to make
their rule more democratic in order to enhance their domestic and
international standing and legitimacy, as well as to spur economic
growth.
