In this monograph, Dr. Mohammed El-Katiri focuses on the variety of challenges that face reform attempts in the post-revolution Arab countries. He examines underlying factors that have prevented new political elites and post-revolution institutions from successfully implementing essential reforms. He explains how these failures have affected the building of these countries' political legitimacy. Dr. El-Katiri concludes with a series of specific policy recommendations, with the aim of preventing further deterioration to the detriment of U.S. interests. Political scientists, economists, Government reform groups, military personnel, corporations, nonprofits, and other non-governmental organizations interested in the many aspects of Government reform to participate in the stability of another country will benefit from this book.Students preparing for Global History and Geography Regents exams may be able to find some correlations with these modern-day foreign governments transitioning to Government reform for the thematic essay portion of the test.
