Abstract
This critical review presents a State doctorate research project in public law (international relations), 'The League of Arab States and the Problematic of Arab Economic Integration,' submitted by El Mokhtar Moutî' at the Faculty of Law in Fès. The reviewer notes the work's considerable size (824 pages in two volumes, excluding appendices) and observes that its comprehensiveness sometimes overshadows finer detail. He summarizes the structure: an introductory section on the theoretical framework of Arab economic integration and its two main currents (liberal and socialist); a first section analyzing economic integration during the era of rising Arab nationalism, in which political and ideological factors outweighed material ones; and a second section examining integration in light of the evolution of oil rent, the resulting 'financial surpluses,' and the obstacles posed by the absence of an advanced organizational and treaty framework. The reviewer commends the methodology, the rich bibliography, and the work's contribution to scholarship on Arab and international relations.
