This document presents a book on Democracy in the Arab World. The chapters of the book illustrate how specific socio-political history of the country concerned, fear of fundamentalist groups, collusion with foreign powers and foreign interventions, and the co-option of the elites by the state also contribute to these problems of democratization facing the region. Situating the democratic position of the Arab world in a global context, this book is an important contribution to the field of Middle Eastern politics, development studies and studies on conflict and democracy.

This document presents a book on E-Government for Good Governance in Developing Countries. Through the use of information and communication technologies (ICT), this book addresses the fundamental question of how services are delivered by a government to its citizens – and, more profoundly, the obligation of a government to respond to the needs and expectations of its people.

This document presents a paper on Estimating the Cost of Child Marriage in the Arab Region. In this paper, we provide a brief overview of the current understanding of the extent, drivers and consequences of the problem of child marriage broadly and particularly in the Arab region. We also outline the international and national frameworks prohibiting, and efforts to eradicate, this practice. Next, we discuss the importance of costing child marriage and the economic costing model devised by the World Bank and the International Center for Research on Women (ICRW) (Wodon and others, 2017). Drawing on this understanding, we examine the feasibility of undertaking cost estimates of child marriage in the region. This is followed by an exploration of the drivers of and barriers to its decline. Next, we examine the data gaps in the region and detail different costing approaches. The paper concludes with a recommendation to choose two Arab States not impacted by conflict and two States

This document presents a study on Feminist advocacy, family law and violence against women. The book provides case studies from Brazil, India, Iran, Lebanon, Nigeria, Palestine, Senegal, and Turkey, using them to demonstrate in each case the varied history of family law and the wide variety of issues impacting women’s equality in legislation. Interviews with prominent women’s rights activists in three additional countries are also included, giving personal accounts of the successes and failures of past reform efforts. Overall, the book provides a complex global picture of current trends and strategies in the fight for a more egalitarian society. These findings come at a critical moment for change. Across the globe, family law issues are contentious. We are simultaneously witnessing an increased demand for women’s equal¬ity and the resurgence of fundamentalist forces that impede reform, invoking rules rooted in tradition, culture, and interpretations of religious texts. The outcome of these disputes has enormous ramifications for women’s roles in the family and society. This book tackles these complexities head on, and will interest activists, practitioners, students, and scholars working on women’s rights and gender-based violence
