<i>‘Leading specialists and young scholars address in this useful Handbook key aspects of Middle East politics as they play out in Arab countries, Iran and Turkey. The authors engage with both conceptual and topical issues, ranging from the region’s restrictive practice of citizenship, to its ideological engagements, to contemporary contests for power involving regional as well as external actors. The volume is suitable for specialists and for those seeking a sophisticated introduction to the politics of the region.’</i>

- Robert Springborg, Naval Postgraduate School, US,

<i>‘This </i>Handbook of Middle East Politics<i> examines urgent challenges facing the region, such as political legitimacy and popular aspirations, political ideologies, energy and environmental security, and the role of foreign powers. Leading scholars offer a comprehensive roadmap of where the region is and where it is heading. Indispensable resource.’</i>

- Fawaz A. Gerges, London School of Economics, UK,

This Handbook uses a comprehensive study of political institutions, social movements and external pressures to offer nuanced study of politics in the Middle East. Foremost scholars on the Middle East examine key themes such as political change, regional rivalry and authoritarianism, making this collection very timely and relevant as an authoritative source.Throughout history, the Middle East has been subject to high levels of political upheaval, revolutions, interstate and intrastate conflict and population dislocation. Charting the ongoing disruptions to authoritarianism in the Middle East, chapters consider the internal logic of the divide between state and society, the continued disregard for societal needs, and the suppression of legitimate grievances, all of which would indicate further and future upheavals. The Handbook engages with questions of political legitimacy and popular aspirations, energy and environmental security, foreign power interests and political ideologies to present a well-rounded picture of a dynamic region.Readers will find this book rich in original and measured insights. Incorporating development studies, politics and public policy and political geography, this Handbook provides scholars and students with compelling insights into Middle Eastern politics.
