After the Spring: Economic Transitions in the Arab World
"Policymakers and observers of the Arab world should be well advised to read this book. It contains a well-rounded analysis of the origins of the revolutions and uprisings in a few Arab countries, the opportunities they open and the challenges of their economic transformation as they move towards a democratic political system. Whether in terms of youth education and employment, the building of stronger state institutions, the modernization of the private sector and a greater integration into the global economy the book provides an excellent reference for those interested in policy making in the Arab region."--Mustapha Kamel Nabli, Governor, Central Bank of Tunisia"The hopes for transition to democracy in the Arab world will have a greater chance of success if the Arab economies can contribute to hope for the future. The ideas in this book, assembled by the Brookings Institution, point to the key problems and possible solutions--a much needed contribution to one of the big problems of our times"--Javier Solana, Former European Union High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy and Former European Union Commissioner"An accessible, timely volume." --CHOICE
