Political parties in the Arab state: Libya, Syria, Egypt

Raymond A. Hinnebusch

School of International Relations

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Competitive party systems are virtually non-existent in the Arab world, reflecting the rulers' preoccupation with concentration of power and a still limited level of social and political mobilisation, at which pressures for its diffusion can still be absorbed by a single, or failing that, a dominant party system. Libya's no-party system under Qaddafi, the Syria's Ba'th single party system and Egypt's dominant party system are examined.
