Produktbeschreibung

This collection of essays crosses disciplines and combines micro-level analysis with large-scale perspective to examine the interplay of local people and places with regional and global forces in North Africa. Considering cases from the economies, politics and cultures of Algeria and Morocco, these studies demonstrate the complex and varied relations between "globalising" forces and local actors, interests, and spaces.

This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of North African Studies.
