Description & Coverage
Description:

The region that includes the Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA) faces a diverse set of cultural, political, and economic issues. Exploring the countries that are considered to be a part of the MENA region as well as comparing this region to the rest of the developing and developed world provides essential insight into the current state of the region as well and its future outlook.

– ProtoView Reviews

I was very interested in reading the chapters because they give a glimpse of the MENA people, their cultures, their healthcare, their education, and their economies. The media does not cover these aspects of MENA, but this book provides a better understanding of these areas.
