N2  - Governance without Government in the MENA Region offers a timely contribution to scholarship on governance and public policy in post-conflict settings. Moving beyond conflict and geopolitics, it explores how authority is exercised in fragmented contexts through informal governance, hybrid institutions, and shifting roles of state and non-state actors. Drawing on diverse case studies, the book provides a clear and engaging narrative for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers in politics, international relations, and political economy. With interdisciplinary and global relevance, it is a valuable resource for graduate students, professionals, and scholars focused on the MENA region and Africa. More than a decade after the Arab Spring, the volume combines empirical and theoretical insights, offering fresh perspectives for navigating governance challenges in conflict-affected areas. About the Editor: Moosa Elayah is Associate Professor of Public Administration at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies. His work focuses on governance, civil society, and post-conflict institutional development in the MENA region
