The Devils Rebirth
The Devil’s Rebirth: The Terror Triangle of Ikhwan, IRGC and Hezbollah” is the work of leading academics and researchers from around the world, who have spent their days and nights to pen this comprehensive research, which aims to disclose the secret networking of globally recognised terrorist organisations, Ikhwan Ul Muslimeen, IRGC and Hezbollah.

Arab Political Demography: Population growth and natalist policies
During the twentieth century, the Middle East and North African populations, similar to other developing countries worldwide, increased rapidly, climbing from 68 million in 1914, on the eve of World War I, to 325 million in 1998 (including Turkey and Iran). This rapid population growth (an increase of almost five-fold) in less than one century resulted not from massive immigration waves, as was the case in some developed countries such as US, Canada, and Australia, but from high natural increase rates. The textbook format contains a country-by-country analysis using detailed figures and tables, with supplementary sources. The aim of this book is four-fold: First, to examine the phenomenon of the rapid population growth in the Middle East during the twentieth century in line with the Demographic Transition Model. Second, to examine and analyse the various socioeconomic consequences of this growth -- the creation of a wide-based age pyramid and its implications; the rapid urbanization process and increasing housing shortage; increasing governmental expenditures on subsidies of basic foodstuffs and public services, particularly health care, education, and transportation; increasing sh
Rethinking Nasserism
"An enormous amount of academic literature has been published on Nasserism since the 1950s and, to my mind, Rethinking Nasserism is without a doubt the last word on the subject. . . . An outstanding reappraisal of Nasserism as a major force in the 20th-century Middle East."--Israel Gershoni, Tel Aviv University President Gamal 'Abd Nasser was a beloved figure of the Egyptian people and loomed large over the Arab world during his period of influence (1952-1970). Nasser dominated and defined the politics of an entire generation of Egyptians and successfully spoke to the masses of Arabs in other countries, even going over the heads of their own leaders--something that no other Arab leader since...
Demographic Developments and Population Policies in Baʻathist Syria
This is the first book written in English to describe and analyze demographic and socioeconomic developments in Syria within the framework of demographic developments taking place throughout the Middle East during the second half of the 20th century. During the last 75 years, the Syrian population has increased dramatically, and the demographic-economic factor is a prime lever in political decision-making and change in both internal affairs and foreign relations. This work traces such a critical connection in the light of President Asad's policies.

Population Growth, Migration and Employment in the Gulf States During the Oil Era
The major source for the profound socioeconomic and political changes in the Persian/Arabian Gulf countries during the second half of the 20th century is oil. This volume details the demographic developments in the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) countries, which achieved the highest population growth rates in the Middle East from the oil boom of October 1973 onwards. Issues addressed include: the demographic characteristics of the indigenous GCC populations (natural increase rates, age structure, and more); the causes and consequences of the rapid increase of foreign workers in these countries, which from the mid-1980s onwards constituted the majority of the GCC labour force; and demographic policies toward both the local and the foreign populations.
