About this product
Product Information
According to diverse indices of political performance, the Middle East is the world's least free region. Some believe that it is Islam that hinders liberalization. Others retort that Islam cannot be a factor because the region is no longer governed under Islamic law. This book by Timur Kuran, author of the influential Long Divergence, explores the lasting political effects of the Middle East's lengthy exposure to Islamic law. It identifies several channels through which Islamic institutions, both defunct and still active, have limited the expansion of basic freedoms under political regimes of all stripes: secular dictatorships, electoral democracies, monarchies legitimated through Islam, and theocracies. Kuran suggests that Islam's rich history carries within it the seeds of liberalization on many fronts; and that the Middle East has already established certain prerequisites for a liberal order. But there is no quick fix for the region's prevailing record of human freedoms.

Reviews
'Freedoms Delayed is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand why the struggle for political rights has been so contentious in the modern Middle East. In this powerful book, Kuran makes the case for the importance of deeply-rooted legacies of Islamic law as a key determinant of political freedom today.' Lisa Blaydes, Stanford University, 'A capstone achievement that explains why political freedoms have expanded so haltingly in the Middle East ... Everyone who cares about human freedom and flourishing in the Middle East should read this book.' Richard A. Nielsen, MIT, 'In the past decade, Timur Kuran has revolutionalized our understanding of the economic development in the Middle East. Now he turns to politics. This book is compulsory reading for anyone who wants to understand the modern world.' James A. Robinson, University of Chicago, 'The Middle East is the least free part of the modern world. In this tour de force, Timur Kuran rigorously probes the sources of this problem, and objectively exposes its roots in the Islamic tradition...' Mustafa Akyol, Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute

Beyond great price. The media itself (CDs) were in NM (near mint) condition. Packaging was in fair condition, so stating Good in the description was reasonable if not downplaying the media itself. Nothing to complain about. Shipping was free and arrived exactly a week later (5 business days). Would definitely recommend and do business with seller again! A++

SecondSalecom is one of my go to sellers, because they have a large selection and I can usually find the book or movie that I want from them at a low price if not the lowest price on eBay. Also, when I buy three books/movies I get a fourth book/movie free. Shipping is also free. This was a great transaction. The DVD was packaged well, shipped promptly and is just as described. I will be back to buy again. Thank you!!
