Should be back in stock very soon
The previous edition of Understanding the Contemporary Middle East was published soon after the Arab uprisings, and the authors—writing across disciplines—captured those moments of possibility. Since then, the Middle East is substantially changed, with three protracted civil wars, several retrenched authoritarian regimes, possibly one emerging democracy, and social and economic conditions that have been profoundly affected by the new political environment. This thoroughly revised and updated edition explores both the impact of recent events in shaping the region and the continuities with established patterns of political, economic, and social relations.
Praise for the previous editions: Expertly analyze[s] the crucial issues facing the Middle East as a region and its relation to the rest of the world.... An informative, objective, and much-needed addition to the ever-growing literature on the Middle East.... Essential. Praise for the previous editions: A multi-dimensional picture of the Middle East that comes alive as you browse through the pages.... It is seldom that one comes across such a good introduction to the Middle East that could be used for both undergraduate and postgraduate level courses. Priase for the previous editions: A superb and engaging book profiling the region.... this unique volume is one of the few truly interdisciplinary books about the contemporary Middle East.
