Few studies of Middle East wars go beyond a narrative of events and
most tend to impose on this subject the rigid scheme of superpower
competition. The Gulf War of 1991, however, challenges this view of
the Middle East as an extension of the global conflict. The failure
of the accord of both superpowers to avoid war even once regional
superpower competition in the Middle East had ceased must give rise
to the question: Do regional conflicts have their own dynamic?
Working from this assumption, the book examines local-regional
constraints of Middle East conflict and how, through escalation and
the involvement of extra-regional powers, such conflicts acquire an
international dimension. The theory of a regional subsystem is
employed as a framework for conceptualising this interplay between
regional and international factors in Tibi's examination of the
Middle East wars in the period 1967-91. Tibi also provides an
outlook into the future of conflict in the Middle East in the
aftermath of the most recent Gulf War.
