Synopsis

Public Policy in the Arab World dissects the layered social, economic, and governance issues that define the Middle East and Northern African (MENA) region and evaluates whether policy is helping or hindering social vulnerabilities in the Arab World.

Leading scholars delve into key social challenges within the MENA region, including the impact of Syrian refugees on Egyptian migrant workers, responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, and labor market policies in Bahrain. Chapters also examine issues such as poverty, inequality, child maltreatment, youth disengagement, and gender disparities, highlighting the urgent need for transformative changes in government to tackle these. Featuring rigorous case studies that offer tangible insights into complex governance issues, Public Policy in the Arab World seeks to influence policy and to ignite a dialogue that moves policy closer to a world where basic human rights are not a luxury but a guarantee.

Its focus on public policy evaluation and real-world case studies also makes it an invaluable read for policymakers looking to understand and address social governance issues in the MENA region.
