Title: The international politics of the Persian Gulf
Subtitle: a cultural genealogy
Description: "The International Politics of the Persian Gulf examines the causes and consequences of conflict in one of the most important regions of the world. Bridging the gap between critical theories of international relations and the empirical study of the Gulf area, this book expands on the many ideologies, cultural inventions and ideational constructs that have affected relations in the past three decades." "Confronting mainstream discussions of the region written in the 'realist' tradition, Arshin Adib-Moghaddam presents what he terms 'a cultural genealogy of anarchy', analysing the permeation, throughout the Gulf area, of values and beliefs constitutive of the problematic nature of regional relations."--Jacket.
