Ozgur Ozdamar, Sercan Canbolat

Leaders in the Middle East and North Africa (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The study of politics in the MENA region has traditionally been dominated by historical and case study approaches. In this innovative book, Ozgur Ozdamar and Sercan Canbolat instead adopt a social science-based methodology to reconsider the dynamics of power and leadership in Africa and the Middle East. By analysing the psychological profiles of fourteen leaders across eight countries and three non-state organizations, they develop a nuanced portrait of modern leadership. Using this approach, the authors are able to draw connections between apparently disparate political ideologies, from Sunni Islamism to Shia revolutionism, from secular nationalism and armed non-state groups. Demonstrating the previously unacknowledged commonalities and divergences in these leaders' approaches, Ozdamar and Canbolat illuminate their tactics and strategies and offer novel insights into how best to negotiate with them.
