Providing a comprehensive analysis of the complicated landscape of suicide across the MENA region, the book identifies six main determinants: socioeconomic factors, political instability and conflict, family and social dynamics, religious beliefs and practices, gender disparities, and youth vulnerability. It explores the diverse suicide prevention efforts across stable monarchies, countries facing political and economic upheaval, and societies grappling with war. A clarion call for action, this pioneering book emphasizes the silent crisis of suicide in MENA societies and the urgent need for holistic, evidence-based, and culturally informed public policy agendas to strengthen social support, mental health services, and suicide prevention initiatives.
Integrating multidisciplinary perspectives, this book is invaluable for students and scholars of public and social policy, public health, welfare states, middle eastern studies and development studies. Drawing upon sociological, epidemiological, and participatory research methodologies, its policy agenda serves as a roadmap for policymakers, researchers, and mental health professionals committed to suicide prevention worldwide.

Expert authors explore how colonial legacies, institutional frameworks, and international influences have molded public policy evaluation across diverse contexts. Chapters critically assess current challenges facing evaluators, including capacity constraints, political interference, and the tension between global standards and local realities. Integrating both political and technocratic perspectives, they consider emerging practices in the field, proposing innovative strategies for developing more effective and culturally responsive approaches to evaluation. Timely and perceptive, the Handbook ultimately emphasizes the need for more inclusive global discussions surrounding public policy evaluation.
This Handbook is an important resource for students and academics in public policy, public administration, political science, international development, and sociology. Policymakers, government officials, and professionals will also benefit from the book’s theoretical and practical insights.
