A Review of Marcus Noland and Howard Pack, The Arab Economies in a Changing World

Since 2002, the United Nations Programme for Development regularly publishes a specific report on the Arab region, affording an enhanced insight into the economic development of that zone (the last of these was published 2005). In the same spirit, the Peterson Institute for International Economics has published a work by Marcus Noland and Howard Pack on the Arab economies’ response to the changing world environment. It provides a very in-depth analysis of these economies with many international comparisons; it also outlines various perspectives for development, together with potential lines for reform. Hedva Sarfati has read the book for Futuribles and gives an outline of it here.
