This book analyzes the failure of the EU's peace-through-trade
policy in Iraq and Iran between 1979 and 2009 from a theoretical
and empirical perspective. The author adds to the trade-peace
theory debate and provides evidence supporting the need to review
the EU's peace-through-trade-policy towards Iraq and Iran, and in
general.
The impact of Oil on relations between any country's foreign policy
toward the Middle East is a hotly debated issue. Indeed, the
world's fixation and need for this fossil fuel will no doubt lead
to a race to consume all existing oil reserves. This book looks at
the EU's policy towards said issue, to assess whether it is indeed
acting to achieve the illusive Middle East Peace. The seldom used
Quantitative Content Analysis method is employed to test this
hypothesis, to further its understanding and to shine a different
light on the 'problem'. A Neo- Realist lens is adopted in order to
set the parameters of the Content Analysis, as it colludes most
with the three elements concerned with this study, being: Security,
Energy (Oil) Demand and Power/Influence. Whilst the findings of
this analysis are not deeply delved into in this study, more of an
emphasis is rested on the formulation of the method, so as to
create a greater understanding of the discourse of the results,
which in turn adds to a more effective/representative method.
Therefore gauging the interest of anyone interested in Middle
Eastern policy, as well as those engaged with political research
methods.
