"A novel and very successful attempt to describe and analyse the political evolution of the three core countries of North Africa--Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria--from independence up to the present day. It concludes with the eruption of the Arab Spring in 2011 and, as such, gives us an immensely valuable comparative study of the articulation and exercise of power in the Maghreb in the period before the radical changes now under way began. An essential introduction to a region now undergoing complex and unpredictable change for academics, professionals and the general reader alike."--George Joffe, Research Fellow at the Department of Politics and International Studies, University of Cambridge
"This accessible and timely volume provides an excellent background to the extraordinary events currently taking place in North Africa. Taking a thematic approach to developments in Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria, Michael Willis highlights their similarities and differences in ways essential to an understanding of whether continuity or radical change will characterise this region in future."--Dr. Claire Spencer, Head, Middle East & North Africa Programme, Chatham House
"Willis succeeds brilliantly in the task [of producing] a much needed introductory text to the region...providing an accurate, comprehensive and readable study of the modern history and politics of Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco. Accessible in style to a broad readership [this book]...does much to expand our knowledge of the Maghreb and its importance to the wider world."--Ronald Bruce St. John, International Affairs
"Willis effortlessly guides the reader through scholarly debates in the existing English-language literature on North Africa. Intense cross-referencing between chapters, an excellent index, and extensive endnotes make this an ideal reference volume....the work's unique strength [is] its accessibility. Despite its dense, detail-filled narrative, Politics and Power in the Maghreb remains approachable for the lay reader and fulfills its primary aim--the creation of an up-to-date reference work on contemporary North Africa tailored specifically for the concerns of an Anglo-American audience...Willis resoundingly reaffirms the value of high politics and grand narrative for area studies....For the foreseeable future, [it] is likely to remain the definitive reference volume for policymakers, academics, and students alike."--Middle East Journal
