The World Today Series: The Middle East and South Asia. More than a
quarter of the world’s population live in the Middle East and
South Asia, yet our knowledge and understanding of the region is
often limited to news updates about the latest conflicts and
crises. This edition of the annually updated volume of the World
Today Series provides important insights that take the reader
beyond the headlines. It offers detailed and up-to-date information
about the politics, economies and societies of the twenty-four
states that make up the region. Contemporary events are placed in
their historical context, through an examination of major
civilizations and key historical events. This volume introduces
major themes that have shaped the region, including the struggles
of ordinary people to achieve democratic rights; the role of oil in
shaping society; burgeoning environmental threats; and the rise and
fall of the Islamic State caliphate. While there is reason for
optimism in regards to the Middle East and South Asia, this is
tempered by the very real challenges that confront the region. The
general reader will gain an understanding of these challenges and
opportunities through an exploration of current and past
developments.
