520 $6880-01$aThe Middle East has been defined by political crises for the last 100 years. In the political halls of power, the media, popular culture and the educational institutions of Western countries, the term the 'Middle East' conjures a confused imagery of religion, resources, foreign interference and politics that can be hard to untangle. This book provides a detailed contextualized exploration of the forces, internal and external, that have shaped today's Middle East. Each chapter acts as a stand-alone reading that includes history, context and contemporary implications in a chronological order. Topics explored include: - Imperialism in the Middle East - The formation of the state of Israel - The Arab-Israeli Wars - Palestinian Politics and the failure of the 'peace process' - The Iranian Revolution and pan-Shi'ism - Superpowers in the Middle East - The US-led 'War on Terror' - The Arab Uprisings - The Syrian War and the rise of the 'Islamic State' - US-Iran relations By rethinking the history of the region through the lens of recent developments, this book will be a core reference tool for students of Middle Eastern Politics and International Relations.

880 3 $6520-01/(Q$aThe contemporary Middle East has been defined by political crises and conflict. The interplay of internal and external factors have set the region on a path of turmoil and crisis with devastating outcomes for its people. The absence of political accountability and representation, and policies pursued by the United States to keep US-friendly regimes in power have been two key factors that have contributed to the seemingly insoluble Middle East politics.ђ́Ø Imperialism in the Middle Easтђ́Ø Palestinian politics and the failure of the peace process'ђ́Ø Superpowers in the Middle Easтђ́Ø The formation of the State of Israelђ́Ø The ArabIsraeli warѕђ́Ø The Iranian Revolution and pan-Shi'iѕмђ́Ø The US-led War on Terror'ђ́Ø The Arab uprisingѕђ́Ø The Syrian War and the rise of the Islamic State'ђ́Ø USIran relationsThis book provides a detailed exploration of the forces, internal and external, that have shaped today's Middle East.
