Testo aggiuntivo
'Ewan Stein has produced a deeply ambitious text that works as both an introduction to the international relations of the Middle East, and as a valuable contribution to a set of enduring debates about how to understand the regional order. By framing the international politics of the Middle East in terms of competition for external support and ideological positioning, Stein provides an original and compelling account of how to understand how the dynamics of the Arab-Israeli conflict, the War on Terror, the Arab Uprisings and regional armed conflict - one that must be taken seriously by anyone interested in global politics today.'
