The fourth in a series on the Middle East, this volume deals with liberalisation. It argues that few countries have been untouched by economic and/or political liberalisation, particularly the Middle East. It looks at Turkey, Egypt and Iraq along with other Middle Eastern states.
Volume 2 in the POLITICAL ECONOMY OF THE MIDDLE EAST series, a collection of 18 articles which discuss international relations of the Middle East in the latter part of the twentieth century. It includes issues such as trade, production, imports and exports, foreign investment and labour migration.
This is the fifth volume in a series on the Middle East. It focuses on the manner in which the character of the state affects economic policies. It also looks at the relationship between the state and society, and assesses administrative structures for economic policies, and policymaking.
This is the first in a series on the Middle East. It covers the issue of how poor capital investment, combined with the few details concerning education in the Middle East, have resulted in the under-utilisation of human resources. It also shows how this failure still affects the region.
The third in a series on the middle East, this volume deals with the way in which Islamic economists believe that an economic system should reflect religious values, rather than a society's values being determined by the economic system.
The late Roman villa of Caddeddi, near Noto in south-east Sicily, first came to light over forty years ago. Built in the second half of the fourth century AD, it is chiefly known for its three figured mosaic pavements, which after careful restoration in Syracuse were returned to the site prior to its opening to the public in 2008. This book describes in detail these and other pavements at Caddeddi, and concludes that, as at the more famous villa of Casale near Piazza Armerina a generation before, they are likely to be the work of North African mosaicists fulfilling an overseas commission for the villa's owner. The book attempts to place the mosaics and the villa itself in their wider Sicilian and Mediterranean context, with discussion ranging over such topics as late Roman villas elsewhere in Sicily, the iconography of myth and personification, peacock-feather helmets, the participation of the military in the Roman animal trade, the parallels between the mosaic floors of Caddeddi and those of Roman North Africa, the development of a new Roman saddle type in the fourth century, and military footwear fashionable at the same time. Of particular note are the 197 illustrations, 184 of them in full colour, which highlight the vividness and vivacity, as well as the polychromatic variety, of these stunning late Roman mosaics.
