International Relations in a multipolar Middle East
by Francesco Belcastro, Edward Wastnidge
Description
This volume explores the international relations of today's Middle East, a region that has become increasingly multi-polar. The tumult following the Arab Uprisings has expanded the arenas competed over by regional powers, global actors and non-state players. The United States, once seemingly intent on a hegemonic 'Pax Americana' has stepped back, leaving powers such as Russia, China, India and the EU, with opportunities to increase their reach and expand their influence. Meanwhile, regional rivalries and alliances have continued to shape conflict and cooperation in the Middle East. As global politics moves towards a new, multipolar era, this volume sheds important light on how this transition will impact on the region. Comprised of two macro sections that offer theoretical reflections and empirical case studies, this volume is essential reading for scholars of the politics and international relations of the Middle East.

Reviews
[Not final] This edited volume explores the international relations of the Middle East region in a multipolar world.The book provides a unique engagement with the concept of multipolarity and its different meanings. Using a wide range of theories and methodologies, contributors engage with the different facets of multipolarity and its effects on the region. Regional dynamics, the role of external powers and relations with neighbouring regions all contribute to shape the Multipolar Middle East. Through its combination of theoretical and empirical analyses, this volume makes a timely and important intervention in debates about the present and future of international relations within the Middle East, and about the region's place in a shifting world order.
