Description: "The present volume provides a comprehensive account of the post-Cold War Middle East and analyzes the foreign policy challenges that they pose. The contributions in this book present a critical and nuanced analysis that is sensitive to the regional complexities as well as to the context of foreign policy responses of the great powers. The contributors have attempted to link theoretical and historical considerations to the current realities.

The emerging portrayal of the region sketched in this volume portends a future that is unpredictable and complex. This complexity demands a new foreign policy response that is more sensitive to the regional realities as well as the aspirations of Middle Eastern people."--BOOK JACKET.
