The Arab Spring and recent popular uprisings that have taken place
in many Arab countries since the end of 2010 highlight the urgent
need for economic policy reorientation in these countries. This
book addresses key issues relevant to the contemporary economic
realities of the Arab economies; including policy space, generation
of more productive and decent employment, social justice and
poverty alleviation, regional integration and the common destiny of
the Arab people, and the failure of the structural adjustment
programs recommended by the Bretton Woods institutions and
implemented in these countries in the last three decades. The
volume explores, and makes recommendations, for deep pan Arab
regional integration and alternative pro-poor, growth-oriented
economic and trade policies capable of promoting social justice by
reducing the incidence of poverty. It highlights the ways in which
various types of economic and trade policies have affected the
levels of employment and poverty in five Arab countries: Egypt,
Jordan, Morocco, the occupied Palestinian territory and Sudan.
Using a mixture of qualitative and quantitative methodologies, the
book focuses on Arab trade integration, exploring the obstacles to
its implementation in the past, as well as its potentials as a
source of employment generation and enhancement of living
conditions. The book also addresses the construction,
interpretation and use of quantitative trade indicators for optimal
policy choice at both the domestic and regional levels.
