Many residents of the Middle East - and more recently, Western
powers - have placed great hope in democratization in the region.
Yet authoritarianism remains the norm and movement towards
democracy is both slow and uneven.
The Struggle over Democracy in the Middle East examines
democracy and democratization in the light of regional realities
rather than the wishful thinking of outsiders. Specialists from the
region analyze democratic prospects in the region, while
accomplished scholars from the United States and the United Kingdom
analyze Western policy, providing a wide-ranging survey of the
efforts of individual countries and the effect of external
influences. Addressing themes including sectarianism, culture,
religion, security and the promotion of democracy, the book
examines the experiences of activists, political parties, religious
groups and governments and highlights the difficulties involved in
bringing democracy to the Middle East. Providing a multifaceted
approach to the issue of democratization, this book will be a
valuable reference for courses on Middle Eastern politics,
political science and democracy.
