Abstract

Ce numéro rassemble des contributions qui abordent la question des classes moyennes dans les pays de la région MENA à partir d'approches diverses et complémentaires. Économistes, sociologues et anthropologues apportent leur cadre d'analyse, des outils et des pistes de réflexion afin de mieux identifier et comprendre cette catégorie aux contours flous, parfois même qualifiée d'insaisissable. Certains auteurs s'interrogent sur la place et la dynamique de la classe moyenne dans un pays particulier (Algérie, Tunisie, ou encore Liban), quand d'autres mettent en perspective l'évolution de cette catégorie dans différents pays de la région. Certains articles prennent la situation des individus ou des ménages comme point de départ, quand d'autres se focalisent sur les entrepreneurs et les entreprises. Certaines contributions proposent une étude statique, « photographie » de la classe moyenne à un moment donné, une démarche que complètent les études adoptant une approche dynamique qui permet d'aborder l'évolution de la position de la classe moyenne dans la structure sociale des pays MENA.
