Invited specialists contribute authoritative overviews of the government and politics of each country in the Middle East and North Africa.

In addition, the authors provide vital new considerations of major developments, including Iranrs"s nuclear policies; political dynamics in postwar Iraq; Israelrs"s post-Sharon politics; the fragmentation of Palestinian representation between Hamas in Gaza and Fatah in the West Bank; as well as recent developments in Syria, Turkey, and Lebanon.
