Conflict and instability are built into the very fabric of the
Middle East and North African (MENA) state and states system; yet
both states and states system have displayed remarkable resilience.
How can we explain this? This handbook explores the main debates,
theoretical approaches and accumulated empirical research by
prominent scholars in the field, providing an essential context for
scholars pursuing research on the MENA state and states system.
Contributions are grouped into four key themes: * Historical
contexts, state-building and politics in MENA * State actors,
societal context and popular activism * Trans-state politics: the
political economy and identity contexts * The international
politics of MENA The 26 chapters examine the evolution of the state
and states system, before and after independence, and take the 2011
Arab uprisings as a pivotal moment that intensified trends already
embedded in the system, exposing the deep features of state and
system-specifically their built-in vulnerability and their ability
to survive. This handbook provides comprehensive coverage of the
history and role of the state in the MENA region. It offers a key
resource for all researchers and students interested in
international relations and the Middle East and North Africa.
