What is The Foreign Policies of Middle East States about?

Lynne Rienner Publishers, 2002. — 381 р. This book takes a modified form of realist theory as a working hypothesis.* It assumes that in the Middle East the state is the main actor in foreign policy and that state elites have an interest in maximizing the autonomy and security of the state. It accepts the realist claim that a built-in feature of a state system, anarchy, has generated profound insecurity and a pervasive struggle for power. Indeed, the Middle East is one of the regional subsystems where this anarchy appears most in evidence: it holds two of the world’s most durable and intense conflict centers, the Arab-Israeli and the Gulf arenas; its states are still contesting borders and rank among themselves; and there is not a single one that does not feel threatened by one or more of its neighbors. Finally, the book accepts that states seek to counter these threats through reason of state, notably power accumulation and balancing, and that the latter is a key to regional order.
