This vivid portrayal of political and social behavior in the Arab states offers new perspectives to the student and scholar of the Middle East. It also illustrates the effectiveness of survey research as an analytical tool for investigating political, social, and economic problems in Arab societies. The only book of its kind--dealing in a comprehensive and interdisciplinary fashion with the political and social behavior of individuals in the Arab world--it fills a gap in the materials available for courses on the Middle East.
