This handbook examines policy-making processes and policy development in the Middle East and North Africa. It assesses efforts to implement policy reform and social services across the region, providing in-depth country case studies written by leading experts from around the world. Chapters examine numerous themes pertinent to aspects of public policy and social policy, including economic development, civil society, healthcare and education reform, gender equality, migration and religion. Other areas of focus include sound governance, sustainable development and international aid, whilst attention is also given to violence prevention, warfare, terrorism, the impact of Covid-19, and technology and communication. The book will appeal to students and scholars of public policy, public administration and governance, as well as those interested in the Middle East and North Africa more generally.
