The article argues that the power of the state in Arab societies, coupled with the absence or weakness of independent women's organizations, explains the slow progress made toward deepening women's citizenship rights. The first section of the article shows that following decolonization, Arab states used women's citizenship rights as a means of asserting their power over that group and serving their broad political interests. The second section of the article examines how the regional switch to market economies begun in the 1980s had contradictory effects on women's citizenship. |
