During the post-war period,many leaders of the MENA region enacted an economic growth model based on import substitution industrialization,in which the state intervened heavily in the public and private sectors to enhance economic growth. The quality of the reforms was largely dependent on the quality of the political regimes in place. By the 1970s,corruption and rigidities in the public sector,as well as global economic developments,had halted economic growth. In the 1980s,MENA countries began to adopt neoliberal Structural Adjustment Packages (SAP),which advocated for open markets and the removal of trade barriers. Market deregulations,Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs),and opening the region up to the world market facilitated enormous economic and social transformations that defined MENA’s last four decades. While neoliberalist policies succeeded in generating significant economic growth,they left much of MENA’s population unemployed. This sparked repeated social unrest,which,in turn,was counteracted by the rise of authoritarian dictators that were supported by the IMF and World Bank. As such,neoliberalism’s effects on MENA continue to be a widely disputed and controversial subject that has undoubtedly left a large mark on the region.
