Excellent- More about Corruption in the MENA Region: Beyond Uprisings
This book explores the causes of corruption in the Middle East and North Africa by comparing fifteen countries over 1999-2010. It finds that the rule of law, quality of regulations, and trade openness are the main variables that impact corruption, while poverty rates and income inequality are triggers for petty corruption. Natural resources and women's empowerment have less of an impact.

This comprehensive book delves into the intricate causes of corruption in the Middle East and North Africa, employing a rigorous cross-national comparative analysis of fifteen countries within the region. Its primary objective is to unravel the intricate connections between corruption and the diverse political and socio-economic dimensions across these countries, spanning the period from 1999 to 2010. The countries are organized into three distinct sub-regions: the Gulf region, North Africa, and Mashreq plus Yemen. Through meticulous research, the author identifies the primary factors that exert a substantial influence on the intensity of corruption. These include the strength of the rule of law, the quality of regulations, and the level of trade openness. Surprisingly, poverty rates and income inequality emerge as clear triggers for petty corruption, highlighting the vulnerability of individuals and communities to unethical practices. On the other hand, natural resource endowments, while significant, have shown less of an impact on corruption levels, suggesting that other factors are at play. Additionally, the book fails to find a strong correlation between women's empowerment and reduced corruption, challenging the notion that gender equality can be a powerful tool in combating corruption. This insightful work contributes to our understanding of the complex dynamics that contribute to corruption in the Middle East and North Africa, offering valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders seeking to address this critical issue.
