Why have social spending levels and social policy trajectories
diverged so drastically across labour-abundant Middle Eastern and
North African regimes? And how can we explain the marked
persistence of spending levels after divergence? Using historical
institutionalism and a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods
Social Dictatorships: The Political Economy of the Welfare State in
the Middle East and North Africa develops an explanation of social
spending in authoritarian regimes. It emphasizes the importance of
early elite conflict and attempts to form a durable support
coalition under the constraints imposed by external threats and
scarce resources. Social Dictatorships utilizes two in-depth case
studies of the political origins of the Tunisian and Egyptian
welfare state to provide an empirical overview of how social
policies have developed in the region, and to explain the marked
differences in social policy trajectories. It follows a multi-level
approach tested comparatively at the cross-country level and
process-traced at micro-level by these case studies.
