This Handbook uses a comprehensive study of political institutions,
social movements and external pressures to offer nuanced study of
politics in the Middle East. Foremost scholars on the Middle East
examine key themes such as political change, regional rivalry and
authoritarianism, making this collection very timely and relevant
as an authoritative source. Throughout history, the Middle East has
been subject to high levels of political upheaval, revolutions,
interstate and intrastate conflict and population dislocation.
Charting the ongoing disruptions to authoritarianism in the Middle
East, chapters consider the internal logic of the divide between
state and society, the continued disregard for societal needs, and
the suppression of legitimate grievances, all of which would
indicate further and future upheavals. The Handbook engages with
questions of political legitimacy and popular aspirations, energy
and environmental security, foreign power interests and political
ideologies to present a well-rounded picture of a dynamic region.
Readers will find this book rich in original and measured insights.
Incorporating development studies, politics and public policy and
political geography, this Handbook provides scholars and students
with compelling insights into Middle Eastern politics.
