Introduction: Neoliberal Illusions
In this book, I will tackle the impact of neoliberal policies adopted by Arab countries on development and citizens’ economic and social rights. Through a collection of previously published studies, I will attempt to refute claims of neoliberalism’s positive impact, highlighting the repercussions of such policies on Arab economies in areas such as trade and economic relations, food security, growing vulnerability and the growth of informal work, and obstacles to accessing basic services under Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs).
