International Relations of the Middle East, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Drawing on the knowledge of leading scholars in the field, International Relations of the Middle East is a unique textbook that explores the promise and limitations of International Relations theories through detailed examination of various case studies from the Middle East. The textbook explores the full spectrum of theoretical perspectives, ranging from mainstream (classical realism, structural realism, liberalism, Marxism, the English School) to critical (historical sociology, constructivism, poststructuralism, postcolonialism, feminism, and green theories) approaches. Each chapter follows a consistent format and engages with case studies from Egypt, Syria, Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Morocco, and Algeria, addressing themes such as revolution, war, the Israel-Palestine conflict, foreign policy, gender, natural disasters, identity, and the environment. The textbook concludes with a chapter that evaluates International Relations theory as it applies to the Middle East and beyond.
