This pioneering book is the first comprehensive study of the Red
Sea as a sub-region of the international system in its own right.
Examining the international politics of the Red Sea region from the
Cold War to the present day, it argues that the Red Sea area
demonstrates the characteristics of a sub-regional system, given
its increasing economic and social interdependence, greater
regional integration, and flows of resources across it. It details
how stronger regional powers - Egypt, Israel and Saudi Arabia -
which co-habit the sub-region with much weaker, vulnerable and
fragile states, are seeking to stamp their own authority on this
dynamic sub-region. They have attempted to do so, the authors show,
through extension of their military and economic influence where
ever possible, while also forging regional partnerships aimed at
protecting their interests or to fend off possible encroachment of
others. The book discusses in great detail the security and
military dynamics of the sub-region; land and maritime borders; as
well as economic issues, including trade, migration, capital flows
and transport. It covers developments across the Red Sea and also
within all the states of this newly-forming sub-region.
