Confronting the theoretical literatures on the \"entanglements\" of the domestic and international realms, and the intricate role played by the middle-income state in the international arena, White provides the first detailed comparison of Tunisia and Morocco's post-independence political economies, especially in the context of the \"Euro-Mediterranean Partnerships\" signed with the European Union in the late 1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNorth African states must act, on the one hand, as entrepreneurs seeking to encourage trade and attract foreign investment within the domestic economy, in the process of crafting foreign economic policy with the European Union. On the other hand, such states are constrained by domestic pressures such as imperatives to secure job creation and maintain internal security. Countries on the periphery are therefore faced with two distinct questions: first, how does a middle-income state balance its conflicting roles and manage its relations with a regional power; and second, how does the relationship with the outside world affect key domestic actors? Answering these questions is one of the primary challenges facing Tunisia and Morocco in the new decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gregory White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791450287\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791450284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/26\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.95h x 5.89w x 1.17d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2001 pg. 90","brand":"Gregory White","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48438008545535,"sku":"9780791450284","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5b7df3fa-6e2a-4500-ac22-9ec138c3a7c7.jpg?v=1777168175","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-comparative-political-economy-of-gregory-white-9780791450284","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
