This review is from: Toward Civil Society in the Middle East?: A Primer (Paperback)

Excellent compendium of thoughts and analyses of social systems in the Middle East. You will find this a well-documented overview of social systems thinking within the non-commercial sectors. This is the standard reference work on foundations of civil society in the Middle East. For related reviews and resources, see the civilsociety pages at Seedwiki. Thanks, Jillian, for this book and for the many articles contributing to intelligent study and contribution to peace in the region.
