Reviews
Advance praise: 'Today leaders in many lands face conflicting tasks of inspiring national loyalty while also educating their citizens for success in the global economy. Calvert W. Jones' methodologically and substantively innovative study, Bedouins into Bourgeois, persuasively analyzes important current strategies for doing so, and their unanticipated consequences. A fascinating and invaluable work for all who are interested in citizenship, political development, globalization, the Arab world, and much more.' Rogers M. Smith, Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor of Political Science, University of Pennsylvania

Synopsis
Bedouins into Bourgeois encompasses political science, sociology, and psychology, as well as state-led social engineering, citizenship studies, nationalism studies, comparative authoritarianism, political and economic socialization, human motivation, and comparative education reform. Of interest to policymakers and NGOs involved in social engineering efforts to influence citizen attitudes and behaviors, the findings will help readers understand how to avoid social engineering pitfalls., How are state leaders adapting their citizen-building strategies for globalization? What outcomes are they achieving, and why? Bedouins into Bourgeois investigates an ambitious state-led social engineering campaign in the United Arab Emirates, where leaders aimed to encourage more entrepreneurial, market-friendly, patriotic, and civic-minded citizens. Extensive ethnography - including interviews with a ruling monarch - reveals the rulers' reasoning and goals for social engineering. Through surveys and experiments, social engineering outcomes are examined, as well as the reasons for these outcomes, with surprising results. This fascinating study illustrates how social engineering strategies that use nationalism to motivate citizens can have paradoxical effects, increasing patriotism but unexpectedly discouraging or "crowding out" development-friendly mind-sets.

    I ordered these on December 19 and they arrived January 10th. There were a couple holidays sprinkled in there, but for the price I paid for these very hard to find items, they could have come a little quicker. With that said, the seller was very responsive to communications and the items came as advertised.
