The past few months have witnessed dramatic scenes in the Middle East and will inevitably bring significant changes in the region. Dr Ali Kadri explored the economic factors fuelling the Arab intifada. Arab countries represent stark cases of 'de-development'. Of the two paths of capital accumulation — by commodity realisation and by encroachment and dispossession — the Arab world falls subject to the latter process.
Dr Ali Kadri is a Visiting Fellow in the Department of International Development at LSE. Formerly, he served as Head of the Economic Analysis Section of the United Nations regional office in Beirut.
