This major reference provides comprehensive coverage of the political parties and movements in the countries of the Middle East and North Africa. Frank Tachau and a group of prestigious scholars and internationally acclaimed experts on the region's political history describe the formation, evolution, and impact of parties in each of the 19 countries that are surveyed, and they also discuss Palestinian and Kurdish political groups. Bibliographies accompany each chapter. The two appendixes are chronologies of important dates in the political developments in the various countries and in the region and information about the genealogies of parties where country histories are particularly complex. A general index and internal cross-references make the data about the parties easily accessible to the political scientists, historians, and Middle Eastern students, teachers, and professionals for whom the survey is designed.
FRANK TACHAU is Professor of Political Science at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He has been Visiting Professor at the University of Chicago, the Middle East Technical University and Bilkent University (both in Ankara, Turkey), and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He is the author of numerous books and articles on the politics of Turkey and the Middle East, including Turkey: The Politics of Authority, Democracy, and Development.
