Since 1979, few rivalries have affected Middle Eastern politics as
much as the rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Iran. However, too
often the rivalry has been framed purely in terms of 'proxy wars',
sectarian difference or the associated conflicts that have broken
out in Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Bahrain, and Yemen. In this book,
Simon Mabon presents a more nuanced assessment of the rivalry,
outlining its history and demonstrating its impact across the
Middle East. Highlighting the significance of local groups, Mabon
shows how regional politics have shaped and been shaped by the
rivalry. The book draws from social theory and the work of Pierre
Bourdieu to challenge problematic assumptions about 'proxy wars',
the role of religion, and sectarianism. Exploring the changing
political landscape of the Middle East as a whole and the
implications for regional and international security, Mabon paints
a complex picture of this frequently discussed but
oft-misunderstood rivalry.
