The far-reaching impact of the latest parliamentary elections in
the Middle East is examined in this volume. After an introduction
that analyses the trends illustrated by the elections and their
implications for regional stability, the book discusses recent
elections in Turkey, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, and Kuwait. Individual
chapters analyze the influence of pre-1980 patterns in the party
system and voting on Turkey's 1983 election; the balloting in
Egypt's 1984 election as a turning point toward democratization in
contemporary Egyptian politics; the significance of Israel's 1984
election in view of the relatively small differences in objectives
between Israel's right-wing Likud and the centrist Labor party; the
role of traditional tribal influences and new political factions in
Jordan's 1984 elections; and the influence of newly emerging social
groups in Kuwait's 1985 election. The contributors discuss
differences in party programs and platforms, the extent of control
by elites, and the relevance of the elections to crucial economic
and social problems and political stability
