It has often been argued that Arab states are arbitrary political
creations, lacking historical or present legitimacy. This book,
first published in 1990, provides a different picture of 'the Arab
state', drawing on historical, economic, philosophical and
sociological perspectives to give a balanced and convincing view of
the complex reality of contemporary Arab politics. The
contributors, from the Arab countries, from Europe and the United
States, investigate the roots of the nation state in the Arab
world, evaluating in particular the economic bases of individual
states. They discuss the evolution of Arab societies and the way
this is reflected in different states, and examine the problems of
domestic and international integration in the Arab context.
Original and comprehensive in its findings, this is an essential
text on the fundamental political structure of the Arab world. Its
interdisciplinary breadth makes possible an entirely new reading of
the political reality of the Middle East.
