"On the wake of the Arab Spring, scholars have diverged on their perspectives of its consequences. What has been missing in these discussions though is the consideration of the region's demographic structures. Population Dynamics in Muslim Countries fills this gap and brings in a sobering perspective."
Elham Manea, Professor of Political Science, Zurich University, Switzerland

"Theuprisings taking place throughout the Middle East and Northern Africa since early 2011 which are reshaping the political and social landscape of the entire region have one root cause: population growth. This book is a must read to all those interested in one of the most consequential developments unfolding before our eyes."
Heinrich Kreft, Ambassador, German Foreign Ministry, Germany
