Description
The Arab Economies in a Changing World by Marcus Noland and Howard Pack examines the economics of the Middle East, with a focus on identifying changes to economic policy that could address the region's challenges. As authoritarian regimes give way to rising expectations, the authors analyze the interaction of trade, productivity growth, and political difficulties that may arise as these countries move towards greater openness. The book draws relevant comparisons from the experience of transition economies and India, highlighting potentially successful policies and those likely to exacerbate existing problems. This second edition includes a new introduction by Mohamed A. El-Erian and a new postscript, providing fresh insights into the evolving economic landscape of the Middle East. By exploring the complex relationships between trade, productivity, and politics in the region, this book offers valuable perspectives on how to address the economic component of the challenges facing the Middle East.
