Publisher's Synopsis
Scholars and policymakers alike have long grappled with the need for a new paradigm to address the intractable problems facing the Middle East, as the usual instruments of statecraft fall short in coping with the region's challenges.;In this book, political experts, military analysts, diplomats, bankers and economists provide insights from the region into the emergent multipolar world order, focusing on the need to re-evaluate conventional policy and diplomatic assumptions about the role of military and economic power, their relationship between larger and smaller states, and the nature of conflict and peace.
