Description:
Despite the prominence of war-making in the Middle East, there has been surprisingly little research investigating the effects of war as a social and political process in the region. This book brings together an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars to explore the role of war preparation and war-making on the formation and transformation of states and societies in the contemporary Middle East.
Expand description
The essays cover topics such as the effects of World War II on state-market relations in Syria and Egypt, the role of war in the rise of the Palestine Liberation Organization, the political economy of Lebanese militias, and the effects of the 1967 war on state and social institutions in Israel.
