The East Moves West: India, China, and Asia's Growing Presence in the Middle East
"Geoffrey Kemp's narrative of Asia's deepening footprints in the Middle East is insightful and provocative. It is a pathbreaking analysis of major significance and originality —not a lament about the decline of America or the end of Western ascendancy but, rather, a sober wake-up call to face a new, and maybe enduring, feature of international politics." —Hisham Melhem, Washington bureau chief, Al-Arabiya news channel"A rising Asia enters the Persian Gulf, with all that that implies. Nowhere is this development analyzed better than in this volume by Geoffrey Kemp. The East Moves West is timely, authoritative, and readable." —Shahram Chubin, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars"Geoffrey Kemp has written a book of startling originality. Much is said about a "new" Middle East, and here it is, India and China pushing westward into the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean. This is strategic and political anaylsis of the highest order." —Fouad Ajami, Professor and director of Middle East Studies, Johns Hopkins University
