The concepts and theories of what constitutes a 'Middle Power' have
played a key part in explaining the identity, behaviour and foreign
policy roles of many states in the international system, including
the United Kingdom, France, Australia and Brazil. But, with a few
exceptions, these frameworks have failed to travel to scholarship
on the Middle East, despite the theoretical and empirical potential
that they offer for understanding regional dynamics. The first of
its kind, this volume addresses that major gap by interrogating the
conceptual, theoretical and empirical underpinnings of the concept
of 'Middle Power' at a regional level. Composed of nine chapters,
'Unfulfilled Aspirations' offers the conceptual and theoretical
tools to examine 'Middle Powerhood' in the Middle East, as well as
insightful empirical analyses of both 'traditional' Middle Powers
in the region (Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Algeria) and new,
aspiring ones (Qatar, the UAE). The contributors reveal that the
Middle Powers of the Middle East have failed, despite their best
efforts, to fulfill their regional aspirations.
