Description
An integrated comparative approach keeps this work relevant despite the continuing turbulence in the region. It focuses on power and authority relations providing a pointer on stratification and the integrated system of groups and classes in the area. The authors expose the actual workings of Middle East political systems while emphasising patterns and processes rather than country-by-country descriptions.
