The issue of religious belief and its role in economic activity, entrepreneurial behavior, attitudes toward work and capital, and the formation of markets has been generally ignored throughout the disciplines of management and economics.

The Middle East is a complex region where religion, culture and politics are deeply intertwined in a powerful relationship. From the early days of the Arab nationalist experiment to the emergence of Islamic fundamentalism in the early part of this century and beyond, the region's political movements have become a salient feature of its modern history and continue to be the subject of much heated debate and speculation. This collection of essays addresses these timely issues by providing both a general analysis of the region and more focused country-by-country examples. Among the many them
