Rafik Hariri Center Resident Senior Fellow Karim Mezran reviews North Africa in Transition: The Struggle for Democracies and Institutions:
“North Africa in Transition provides a timely and valuable examination of a region in turmoil. The book assembles an impressive and diverse range of authors, who assess the major factors that have influenced the politics, security and economies of North Africa since the 2011 revolutions. It makes the important case for why Western governments need to devote more attention and resources to North Africa, and argues effectively that persistent institutional reforms will be the surest means to preserve stability in the years to come.”
