The Arab Uprisings of 2011-12 ignited a surge of rigorous and insightful research on the politics of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). In The Political Science of the Middle East, Marc Lynch, Jillian Schwedler, and Sean Yom offer a comprehensive and definitive overview of this transformative shift. This monumental stocktaking is structured around a central theme: the MENA has produced groundbreaking theorizing in comparative politics and international relations, and the in-depth study of the region is now a central pillar of mainstream political science. Spanning twelve chapters, this comprehensive volume covers a wide range of topics, including authoritarianism and democracy, contentious politics, regional security, military institutions, conflict and violence, the political economy of development, Islamist movements, identity and sectarianism, public opinion, migration, and local politics. For each of these subjects, leading MENA experts and specialists showcase innovative concepts, lively debates, diverse methodologies, and unexpected findings. The result is an indispensable research primer, a testament to the generation of scholars working in this regional subfield.
