What drives economic policymaking and performance in the Arab states? Paul Rivlin finds that domestic and international pressures have combined in the past decade to simultaneously foster change and limit available policy options. Rivlin examines the socioeconomic issues that are major concerns for policymakers, the role of rental incomes and interest groups, and the particular problems facing the industrial and agricultural sectors. Assessing data from Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia, and Syria, he devotes two chapters to the results of stabilization and structural adjustment policies. His insightful analysis is situated in the context of the sharp debate about IMF- and World Bank-adjustment policies.
