This book, first published in 1991, examines in detail
superpower-client relations in the Middle East. The Middle East,
with its protracted and seemingly insoluble conflict and complex
patterns of loyalty and hostility, is the ideal setting for the
study of such relationships. Using the USSR and Syria, and the USA
and Israel as case studies, this book illuminates the extent of
superpower influence on client states but also the real constraints
on their exercise of that influence. In analysing specific contexts
over this period, the authors advance that tension between goals
and constraints often favours the client state and that superpower
relations are not those of dominance and subordination but
bargaining relations in which clients have great leverage.
