A comparative study based on extensive fieldwork, and an original database of gender-based reforms in the Middle East and North Africa, Aili Mari Tripp analyzes why autocratic leaders in Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia adopted more extensive women's rights than their Middle Eastern counterparts.

This book explains why women's rights and rates of political leadership are improving more rapidly in post-conflict countries in Africa than elsewhere on the continent. It provides original theoretical and empirical contributions to the study of women, peace and security as well as to the political science literature on post-conflict transitions and peacebuilding.
