Rethinking Neoliberalism in West Asia and North Africa

Discover how feminist economics sheds new light on the situation in West Asia and North Africa today. This book reveals the hidden costs of neoliberalism, war, and inequality in Egypt, Morocco, Libya, Jordan, Yemen, Palestine, and Tunisia. It also highlights women’s unpaid labor and intertwined oppression, while simultaneously offering transformative ideas for a more just and inclusive future.

This book examines how the economic, social, and political systems in West Asia and North Africa are inextricably linked and how these systems reinforce structural inequalities. It explores conflict, environmental crises, and migration from a feminist perspective. Drawing on case studies from across the region, the book offers strategies for inclusive policymaking, strengthening social resilience, and achieving more equitable economic development.
