A good book takes one’s breath away and this superb volume on the many dimensions of inter-state, intra-state relations, and non-state interactions in the Middle East, is one such volume. Its layered analysis, by some of the most innovative minds in the business, explores every significant ‘state theatre’ in this region, bringing multitudes of insights together to enable the reader to develop a true multi-dimensional picture of the forces which have been in play since the Arab uprisings. This is the kind of volume that will inform and educate for years to come.
- Anoush Ehteshami, Durham University,
This is a book of tremendous importance. Comprising original contributions by a group of stellar scholars, the book presents comprehensive, incisive analyses of the causes and consequences of important transitions underway to international and security arrangements in the Middle East. I strongly recommend the book for anyone interested in better understanding contemporary international relations in the Middle East.
- Mehran Kamrava, Georgetown University Qatar,
This book provides indispensable background to any sensible discussion of how the Middle East will adapt to Israel’s war in Gaza and Lebanon and how the United States should adjust to new realities, as well.
- Lisa Anderson, Foreign Affairs
Collectively, the chapters give readers a profound understanding of the interests and actions of key players in the Middle East, as they have sought to craft the regional order to their liking. The book provides a crucial backdrop to the major transformations that have occurred since its publication.
