Middle East politics have been proverbial for their changeability.
The 1970s ushered in petro-politics, for instance, but OPEC's
international status declined markedly in the following decade.
Similarly, the Arab world's ostracism of Egypt in the 1970s
following its separate peace with Israel was turned around in the
1980s; the late 1980s also brought PLO acceptance of the State of
Israel. Interstate relations were not the only arena to experience
significant alterations; state-society relations also underwent
dramatic changes, such as the acceleration of privatization in
erstwhile socialist regimes. Then the 1990s opened with a political
earthquake: the Gulf Crisis. The second edition of this highly
acclaimed text offers a penetrating analysis of trends in Arab
foreign policies since the book was originally published in 1984,
including an early analysis of the effects of Iraq's invasion of
Kuwait and the subsequent coalition victory over Iraq. In addition,
the authors have included new chapters on Jordan-at the heart of
the Arab world-and on the Sudan-the region's link to sub-Saharan
Africa. Their inclusion allows a fuller understanding of the
foreign policies of states that occupy crucial geopolitical
positions but wield little tangible power. Moreover, in many of its
chapters the book raises the crucial question of how the foreign
policies of these countries can cope with the prevalence of
political change.
