Covid-19 and Risk Society across the MENA Region

Angebote / Angebote:

Based on empirical country-level analysis, this volume brings together an international team of contributors seeking to untangle how COVID-19 unfolds in the MENA, with special reference to issues of (self) governance and democracy, and the enormous challenges heightened by the pandemic in Arab settings including inequality, human indignity, and resurgent authoritarianism. The analysis is framed through Ulrich Beck's famous concept of "risk society? that pinpointed the negative consequences of modernity and its unbridled capitalism. The book traces how this has come home in full force in the COVID-19 pandemic, and uses the term ?Arab risk society' to refer to repercussions on Arab societies.
