  5. Muslim Population Outside MENA, ~2000. (In millions.) Bangladesh 90-100 China 40-100 Europe 5-20 France 2-2.5 Germany 1.5-2 U.K. 1 India 100-120 Indonesia 150-180 Malaysia 15 Nigeria 30-60 Pakistan 100 US 2-3 [Israel < 0.8 ] Total number of adherents to Islam is about 1.5 billion (1 to 1.8).

  15. Patterns/Policies of National Economic Growth and Structural Change (R&W pp. 67-68) • Coupon clippers (of oil rents): Libya, Kuwait, Oman, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar [rentier economies] • Oil Industrializers: Iraq, Iran, Algeria, Saudi Arabia • Watchmakers (limited resources, so invest in human capital and exporting of skilled labor intensive manufactured products): Israel, Jordan, Tunisia, Syria • NICs (large populations, sufficient land, good industrial development): Turkey, Egypt, Morocco • Agro-poor: Sudan and Yemen • Lebanon is apparently a case all to itself

Islamic Republics: Iran, Sudan Tunisia was/is a sort of democracy

  18. Ross on Oil and Democracy in MENA Oil hinders the development of democracy because: 1) monarchs can buy off the citizens (e.g., Saudi Arabia) 2) all this money allows the regime to keep finances secret low taxes high benefits 3) monarchs can even buy off the military Comments: a) Some monarchs have esteem for historical/religious reasons: Morocco, Saudi Arabia, b) some monarchies instituted slow democratic change: Morocco, Jordan. Ongoing in Kuwait. c) Michael Ross has also written on how women’s rights are lower in oil-exporting states.

  21. Dahi on Causes of the Arab Revolts Political: anti-authoritarianism. This is very clear Economic: True? To what extent? AHDR had been critical of lack of economic progress, worsening distribution of income IMF/World Bank had pushed structural adjustment policies, and economic liberalization. Expansion of FDI. (Tunisia & Egypt) States had not been successful ‘development states’ such as in Japan, Korea, etc. In contrast, several unhelpful policy decisions: Fighting dissent with prison etc. (context of anti-terrorism 9/11 campaign Alienated private sector business elites with ‘crony capitalism’ Starkly true in Tunisia and Egypt. Broader discussion of the decline of the authoritarian populist social contract
