Social entrepreneurship has struck a responsive chord in the Middle East. Across the Arab region, we have witnessed the proliferation of social entrepreneurial ventures, designed to address
various social ills. Post Arab Spring, the region continues to grapple with a multitude of social challenges that continue to haunt new generations of Arab youth, and turn the spotlight to
how to better mobilize and organize social entrepreneurial efforts across the region in support of positive change.
In the context of this adversity, Social Entrepreneurship in the Middle East provides an overview of social entrepreneurship in the region, tracing its past, current and potential future
trajectory and ensuing implications. This two-volume book unveils trends, strengths, weaknesses and overall dynamics and implications of social entrepreneurship in the Middle East region,
whilst identifying both opportunities and threats facing social entrepreneurship and supplements through a wealth of insights and examples inspired from practice and current
applications.
