Title: Regional security in the Middle East
Description: "This book provides an accessible yet critical analysis of regional security in the Middle East. Using a non-realist approach the author provides a comprehensive study of the pasts, presents and futures of security in the region. In doing this, the author focuses upon the question of regional identity formation, explaining how and why various regional representations came into being and explores the practical implications of a particular identity. Finally the author presents alternative future scenarios including a critical security studies perspective on the future of the Middle East as a security community."

"This book recognises the presence of a multitude of contending perspectives on regional security, each one of which derives from different conceptions of security that have their roots in alternative worldviews. Topical and well-written, Regional Security in the Middle East will be essential reading for those interested in Middle Eastern politics, security studies and critical approaches to world politics."--Jacket.
