Synopsis

Lust and her outstanding contributors have fully revised the text to take into account the watershed events that have taken place in the Middle East since the 2011 uprisings.

- Expanded coverage of the role of social movements and activism in the chapter, Actors and Public Opinion.

- Country chapters have been revised to more explicitly address religion, society and politics

- In light of user feedback, the thematic chapters have been reordered to fit more naturally with teaching progression preferred by most faculty
