Examining globalization in the Middle East, this book provides a
much needed assessment of the impact of globalization in the
'greater' Middle East, including North Africa, in the context of
the powerful geopolitical forces at work in shaping the region
today.
Written by a well-known authority in this area, this book
demonstrates that, unlike in other regions, such as East Asia,
geopolitics has been a critical factor in driving globalization in
the Middle East. The author argues that whereas elsewhere
globalisation has opened up the economy, society, culture and
attitudes to the environment; in the Middle East it has had the
opposite effect, with poor state formation, little interregional
trade, foreign and interregional investment, and reassertion of
traditional identities.
This book explores the impact of globalization on the polities,
economies and social environment of the greater Middle East, in the
context of the region's position as the central site of global
geopolitical competition at the start of the twenty-first
century.
