Turkey 1918-1945 -- Egypt 1918-1945 -- The economies of the British and French mandates 1918-1945 -- The states of the Arabian Peninsula 1918-1945 -- Turkey 1946-1990 -- Egypt 1946-1990 -- Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq 1946-1990 -- The economies of Israel, Jordan, and the West Bank/Gaza 1946-1990 -- The states of the Arabian Peninsula 1946-1990.
Summary: This book on examines, for the first time, the separate national economies of the Arab states, including the Gulf, Israel, and Turkey, from 1918 to the present. It describes the main trends within each economy based on the best available statistical data, and answers larger questions concerning the long-term growth of the countries, first in the colonial period, then in the periods characterized by planning and development, followed by the first steps toward liberalization and structural adjustment. It evaluates government policy in promoting the protection of imports and in advancing market economies. Policies employed by the oil-producing states to build new institutional structures based on near unlimited supplies of capital and labor are also examined. The Middle East economies are placed in their proper international context, and questions of colonialism and labor migration are discussed.
