abstract: 'The purpose of this paper is to provide an evaluative analysis of the

  impact of trade and globalization on income, employment, and wages in

  the Arab countries of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) over the

  1980-95 period. It first studies the behaviour of Arab barter, income,

  and factoral terms of trade, and analyzes their effects on Arab income.

  It then evaluates the extent of globalization in the Arab world, and

  considers its political significance. This is followed by the derivation

  of a relationship that will determine the behaviour of wages and

  employment, and a case study of the impact of trade on relative wages in

  Egypt. The paper closes with a political economy analysis of the

  autonomy of the Arab state in an era of globalization.'
