Introduction:
Melani Cammett is Kutayba Alghanim Assistant Professor of Political Economy in the Department of Political Science at Brown University. She specializes in the political economy of development and the Middle East and teaches graduate and undergraduate courses on comparative politics, development, and Middle East politics. Her book, Globalization, Business Politics and Development: North Africa in Comparative Perspective (Cambridge University Press, 2007) examines how integration in global manufacturing chains reshapes business politics in developing countries, situating Morocco and Tunisia in broader comparative perspective. Cammett’s new book project, Servicing Sectarianism: Welfare and Politics in Weak States, focuses on the dynamics of social service provision by political parties in Lebanon and other comparable cases in the Middle East and other developing regions. The project employs spatial analysis to assess which types of ethnic and religious communities providers target in allocating welfare goods and to present an overall picture of access to services in Lebanon.
