Whether through government propaganda or popular transnational
satellite television channels, Arab citizens encounter a discourse
that reinforces a sense of belonging to their own state and a
broader Arab world on a daily basis. Looking through the lens of
nationalism theory, this book examines how and why Arab identity
continues to be reproduced in today's Middle East, and how that
Arab identity interacts with strengthening ties to religion and the
state. Drawing on case studies of two ideologically different Arab
regimes, Syria and Jordan, Christopher Phillips explores both the
implications this everyday Arab identity will have on western
policy towards the Middle East and its real life impact on
international relations. Offering an original perspective on this
topical issue, this book will be of interest to academics and
practitioners working on the Arab world and political affairs, as
well as students of International Relations, Political Science and
the Middle East, notably Syria and Jordan, and policymakers in the
region.
