Communist Parties in the Middle East
Since the Russian Revolution, communist parties have undergone great change,
affecting the entire Left and its associated social movements.
Communist Parties in
the Middle East: 100 Years of History
aims to cover a century in the lives of these
parties, from the moment the communist ideology
first
reached the region in the early
twentieth century, right up to the upheaval caused by the dissolution of the USSR
and, more recently, the Arab Spring. The book has been designed to offer a unique,
updated and comprehensive study of communist parties in the Middle East.
The volume analyses the composition of the communist parties in the Middle
East, as well as their role as the vanguard in relation to the objectives of libera-
tion, emancipation, revolution and system change or reform, and their connection
to mass or popular movements. It also looks back at the level of autonomy
experienced by the region’s communist parties during the Cold War, and the ten-
sions that this generated within them, as well as the search for individual con-
structions of communism that considered cultural characteristics and the local
context of the struggle. Finally, the chapters trace the history of the parties,
including
–
for the
first
time in the literature
–
the post-Cold War period and
continuing to the current situation, in which communist parties occupy a residual
position in the political
field,
sharing space with other groups on the Left, new
programmes adapted to neoliberal advancement in the region, and the mobilizations
symbolized by the uprisings of 2010–11.
The
first
section of the book presents the evolution of the communist parties in
Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel and Palestine, Lebanon, Morocco, South Yemen,
Sudan, Syria and Turkey. The second section explores some cross-cutting issues
that have affected relations between the communist parties and other political
sectors: political Islam and the New Left, as well as the arguments around the
question of gender in the Arab world and in leftist circles.

Europa Regional Perspectives
Providing in-depth analysis with a global reach, this series from Europa examines
a wide range of contemporary political, economic, developmental and social
issues in regional perspective. Intended to complement the Europa Regional Sur-
veys of the World series, Europa Regional Perspectives will be a valuable resource
for academics, students, researchers, policymakers, business people and anyone
with an interest in current world affairs with an emphasis on regional issues.
While the Europa World Year Book and its associated Regional Surveys
inform on and analyse contemporary economic, political and social develop-
ments, the Editors considered the need for more in-depth volumes written and/or
edited by specialists in their
field,
in order to delve into particular regional
situations. Volumes in the series are not constrained by any particular template,
but may explore recent political, economic, international relations, social,
defence, or other issues in order to increase knowledge. Regions are thus not
specifically defined, and volumes may focus on small or large group of countries,
regions or blocs.
