Halpern argues that the region was caught in the grip of a profound revolution, and he systematically examines the causes and character of that upheaval, identifying the key forces, groups, ideas, and institutions driving change. Written with the authority of a scholar who had deep access to the region's political realities, the work details the competing pressures of modernisation, nationalism, and emerging political movements. It remains an indispensable reference for anyone seeking to understand the structural and ideological underpinnings of modern Middle Eastern and North African politics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956310683867,"sku":"2026100008499-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5e41df07-d5e1-4ae1-b304-eeb269e3bfc1.png?v=1783499476","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008499-secondhand-the-politics-of-social-change-in-the-middle-east-and-north-africa","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
