Conflict and War in the Middle East

More about the book

Focusing on the Gulf War of 1991, the book challenges the conventional narrative that views Middle East conflicts solely through superpower competition. It explores the unique dynamics of regional conflicts, analyzing how local tensions can escalate and draw in external powers, thus gaining an international dimension. Using the theory of a regional subsystem, the author examines the interplay between regional and international factors in Middle East wars from 1967 to 1991 and offers insights into future conflicts in the region following the recent Gulf War.
