Most area specialists recognize the effects of national identity
on the regional politics of the Middle East. However, those same
specialists have proceeded as if identity matters little for
understanding how nations determine their foreign policy in this
volatile region. Shibley Telhami and Michael Barnett, together with
experts on Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, and Syria, explore
how the formation and transformation of national and state
identities affect the foreign policy behavior of Middle Eastern
states.
The contributors to this volume support theory with concrete
narratives focusing on actual policy. The boundaries of group
loyalty and membership in the Middle East have fluctuated greatly
over the past century, and will continue to do so. Identity and
Foreign Policy in the Middle East offers convincing evidence that
the international policies of this area can be fully comprehended
only if the power and scope of identity politics are taken into
account.
