Description
Summary:This report is divided into three parts. The first explores whether decentralization can positively contribute to more effective governance in fragmented environments across the region. The second examines the diverse manifestations of political Islam following the changes several countries experienced after the 2011 uprisings. The third addresses the issue of energy, including the challenges and opportunities it presents in the current political climate. The authors provide case studies from Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and Jordan. By exploring the unique case in each country, this report identifies patterns that elucidate larger trends that may impact the future of the MENA region.
