| Description | | - Leading scholars of Middle East politics and IR offer their views on the contemporary state of the region.
- Up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of the international politics of the Middle East, a region at the forefront of international attention.
- Offers coverage of events surrounding 11/9 and the intervention in Iraq of spring 2003 within a conceptual framework.
| In this book, leading scholars of the Middle East and International Relations present a balanced and comprehensive analysis of the international politics of the region.
While offering an historical framework, and up-to-date analysis of contemporary events, the book also introduces key theories and concepts from the study of International Relations and applies them to a Middle Eastern
context to help explain major currents and developments.
The first section offers an historical and chronological overview of the principal developments in the international politics of the Middle East within the broader context of an evolving international system. In this, and later sections, the implications of both September 11, 2001, and intervention in Iraq in the spring of 2003 will
be discussed.
The second section considers region specific conflicts and issues - the Arab-Israel crisis, wars in the Gulf, US and European policy - and examines them from an international relations perspective.
The third and final section looks at major themes in International Relations - globalization, democratization, cooperation and conflict - and applies them to the Middle East,
offering a regionally-sensitive perspective. |
Readership: The book will suit all politics and international relations departments, both as a core text for undergraduates and as an introductory volume for graduates. In addition it will be of use to undergraduates and graduates in related courses at both UK and US universities.
