Prague Charles University - Karolinum Press 2017 ©2017 476 pages charts 24 cm text txt unmediated n volume nc Includes bibliographical references (pages 456-472) and index Introduction: Chronic instability in the Middle East -- Political modernisation: weak and authoritarian states -- Economic modernisation: volatile and distorted -- Population explosion: the Middle East and its abandoned young people -- The media revolution: the Middle East as a religious marketplace -- The expansion of education: the Middle East and the "lumpenintelligentsia" -- The boom in megacities: a whirlwind of urbanisation in the Middle East -- Conclusion "Middle Eastern instability is seen externally in many ways: by crises afflicting governing regimes, the rise of political Islam, terrorism, revolution, civil war, increased migration, and the collapse of states. Countering common interpretations of postcolonial Middle Eastern development, Instability in the Middle East focuses on the uneven and unsynchronized pace of change within sociodemographic, economic, and political aspects of modernization. Drawing on the theory of multiple modernities, Karel Černý investigates the broader cultural, religious, and international political context of uneven modernization in the Middle East and tests his model using a time series of dozens of indicators over the past fifty years, revealing a long-term trend of cumulative change across the region." -- Back cover Stabilité politique Moyen-Orient 1945- ram s1ht rnv VAUD 100 1- Černý Karel 1980- aut Metadata rights reserved vaud SWISSBIB 530191008 BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 VAUD bcud bcud USA 52398 321.4(53) 810010029
