This textbook anthology of selected readings on pressing Middle
East security concerns serves as an invaluable single-volume
assessment of critical security issues in nations such as
Afghanistan, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen.
The issues and current events of the Greater Middle East continue
to hold deep implications for American geopolitical interests in
the region—as they have for many decades. An ideal resource for
students in undergraduate courses on the Middle East and related
regions as well as students in graduate programs of international
studies or security studies, this textbook anthologizes recent,
insightful analyses by top scholars on trends and events in the
Middle East that bear crucially on regional and global security
considerations, covering topics like Iran's nuclear ambitions; the
rise, ebb, and resurgence of Al Qaeda; and the war in Syria. The
essays address concerns that include the re-imposition of military
rule in Egypt; the current status of Palestinian-Israeli relations;
the civil war and proposed chemical inspections in Syria;
Sunni-Shiite conflict and the revitalized al Qaeda presence in Iraq
and the Sunni resurgence in Iraq and Syria; and the
on-again-off-again international monitoring of nuclear facilities
in Iran, along with discussions of that country's connections to
the Syrian regime and Hezbollah in Lebanon. The use of drone
strikes as antiterrorist weapons and their use within U.S. and
international law also receive specific attention. Each reading is
summarized and contextualized by a concise introduction that serves
to enhance the integration of the individual readings across the
book. Original source notes are included with each chapter as
guides to further reading, and numerous maps provide an essential
sense of place. The book also includes a glossary of terms and a
register of brief biographies of significant persons.
