Excellent- More about COVID-19 and Risk Society across the MENA Region: Assessing Governance, Democracy, and Inequality
The COVID-19 pandemic has had different impacts across regions, states, and societies, with the Middle East and North Africa experiencing both global and regionally specific effects. This volume brings together an international team of contributors to untangle how COVID-19 unfolds across the MENA, framed through a contextual adaptation of Ulrich Beck's concept of "risk society." It highlights short-term and long-term repercussions, including socio-economic inequality and a revitalized state of authoritarianism challenged by democratic struggles. Ethnographies of the pandemic provide an ethically-informed research praxis that can respond to the manifold crises crashing down upon MENA polities and societies.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on politics, economy, and society across different regions, states, and societies. In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, which was already experiencing significant turmoil following the 2011 Arab Spring, the pandemic has followed global patterns while also playing out in regionally specific ways. This volume brings together an international team of contributors who seek to untangle how COVID-19 unfolds across the MENA. The analyses are framed through a contextual adaptation of Ulrich Beck's concept of "risk society," which highlights the negative consequences of modernity and its unbridled capitalism. The book traces how this has come home in full force in the COVID-19 pandemic. The editors, Larbi Sadiki and Layla Saleh, use the term "Arab risk society" to highlight the short-term and long-term repercussions across the MENA, including socio-economic inequality, a revitalized state of authoritarianism challenged by relentless democratic struggles. The ethnographies of the pandemic included in this book investigate transformations and coping mechanisms within each country case study, providing an ethically-informed research praxis that can respond to the manifold crises crashing down upon MENA polities and societies.
