Revue de presse :
This is an excellent, well-written book...a rich tapestry that does justice to the complex subject at hand. Their sociopolitical analyses of the political regimes, the military and the state, and class interests are perceptive and thought-provoking. ...This is a book that I would strongly recommend not only to all those concerned with the Middle East but also to many of those concerned with development issues in these complex times.
—Finance and Development
Each generation produces a limited crop of important books on the Middle East. A Political Economy of the Middle East...is one of these books. In a thorough and methodical manner, Richards and Waterbury address the hard development issues, including the role of natural resources, population, agriculture, the growth and frequent dominance of the public sector, and the military as an actor in politics as well as the economy. ...In sum, A Political Economy of the Middle East is truly a significant book. It is strongly recommended to anyone who desires a better understanding of the socio-economic forces that drive the region.”
—Middle East Insight
Seldom has a book been more timely. This volume for years to come will be one of the standard sources for those interested in the Middle East and North Africa.”
—The Annals of the American Academy
Praise for the previous editions:
Given ongoing developments in the Middle East and North Africa, this updated edition is most welcome and remains a valuable resource for its comprehensive coverage of the relevant economic, political, social, and religious issues affecting the region [T]his well-written book is the ideal text for a course on the political economy of the region and also for a variety of other courses in the growing field of Middle Eastern studies. Its nontechnical style makes it accessible to those new to the subject. Highly recommended.”

Interesting, informative, and challenging.”
—Choice (outstanding title)
Richards and Waterbury successfully presented a comprehensive study of the Middle East economies in the first edition of this book, [which was] interesting, informative, and challenging, and many Middle East scholars have found it an indispensable reference source. This second edition is just as successful. This outstanding book is a must for any library collection.”
—Choice
The best text on the political economy of the Middle East. The analysis is deep and the coverage is comprehensive.”
—Maen Nsour, George Mason University
This is one of the best all-around textbooks on the Middle East I know, and the updated edition even improves its status.”
—Uri M. Kupferschmidt, University of Haifa
Comprehensive and readable presentation of a complex subject, treated with candor and objectivity. A unique, stand-alone text.”
—John Entelis, Fordham University
In analyzing the ongoing socioeconomic transformations of the Middle East, Richards and Waterbury provide remarkable insights into both the commonalities that give the region its identity and the many variations among countries. They recognize that the region's actors are driven by material as well as nonmaterial concerns, and they identify linkages between political institutions and economic patterns. Clear, informative, and amply documented throughout, the book is unique in its scope.”
—Timur Kuran, University of Southern California
Richards and Waterbury have written a study that should stand not only as the definitive description of the region at the end of the 1980s, but also as a model of political economic analysis.”
—Journal of Developing Societies
This rich work should form the centerpiece for future study of the economic development of the Middle East.”
—Current History
