The establishment of a Middle East zone free of nuclear weapons, a
concept more recently broadened to cover all weapons of mass
destruction (WMD), has been before the international community for
decades. In this book, two experts from the region explore why the
matter remains unresolved, and outline a comprehensive yet
achievable roadmap to a Middle East free of WMD. Weapons of mass
destruction pose an existential threat to global peace and
security. But nowhere is it more urgent to stem their spread than
in the Middle East, a region fraught with mistrust and instability.
Accounting for these geopolitical realities, including the ongoing
talks to curb Iran's nuclear program, the authors present a
practical and innovative strategy to a Middle East free of weapons
of mass destructions (WMD). They outline a phased approach toward
disarmament in the region, prescribing confidence-building measures
and verification tools to create trust among the region's
governments. Their vision also sees the realization of a WMD-free
zone within a broader regional agenda for security and cooperation
to advance socioeconomic and political progress. This book will be
of great interest to students and scholars of international
relations, politics and security studies in the Middle East.

Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2014 Scores of books have been
written by Western experts, mainly American, looking at the root
causes of the conflict between Iran and the US. However, none of
them have presented an inside look at this complex relationship
from within the Iranian culture, society, and most importantly, the
Iranian policy-making system. This gap has been the cause of
misperceptions, misanalyses, and conflict, followed by the adoption
of US policies that have failed to achieve their objectives. Seyed
Hossein Mousavian worked for over 30 years on diplomatic efforts
between Iran and the West, serving in numerous official posts, and
as a confidante, colleague, and peer to many former and current
high ranking Iranian officials, including now-President Hassan
Rouhani and Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif. Here the former
diplomat gives an insider's history of the troubled relationship
between Iran and the US. His unique firsthand perspective blends
memoir, analysis, and never before seen details of the many near
misses in the quest for rapprochement. With so much at stake, the
book concludes with a roadmap for peace that both nations so
desperately need.
Tensions between Iran and its Arab neighbors at the Persian Gulf
have often been described as one of the challenges to the world
peace and security over the past decade. As a result, one of the
puzzles of the current international relations has been the
question of whether or not, there are prospects to resolve
conflicts between Iran and Saudi Arabia and GCC and envision
normalized, friendly diplomatic relations between the two states.
This book argues that normalized and friendly ties between Iran and
Saudi Arabia is possible, and indeed, the author shows that there
is a historical precedence for it, even in the post-1979
revolutionary Iran. And, if normalized and friendly diplomatic
relations are possible between Iran and Saudi Arabia, then, it is
not hard to envision that maladies of sectarianism as well as
Sunni-Shi'a conflict would subside in the region. The book draws on
the author's involvement, conversations, interviews, and personal
observations as Ambassador and official over several decades. The
book tries to explore the possibilities of diplomatic resolutions
to the existing conflicts between Iran and Saudi Arabia and offer a
roadmap to achieving sustainable diplomatic relations.
