In recent years, the term sectarianism has been widely used to
explain contemporary affairs across the Middle East and North
Africa. A range of assumptions about the nature of sectarianism
have become prevalent amongst scholars and policy makers who engage
with these areas, in part driven by the rivalry between Saudi
Arabia and Iran (the two dominant Sunni and Shi'a states) and the
emergence of ISIS. Despite its prevalence, few scholars have
engaged critically with the meaning of the term and its application
across the Middle East. Whilst many associate sectarianism with
Islam, Sectarianism in the Contemporary Middle East interrogates
the political, economic and security factors surrounding the term
within both Islam and Judaism, leading to a better understanding of
the contemporary politics of the Middle East. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Global Discourse.
