Full Description


The end of the Cold War brought about fundamental shifts in the international political system, which many scholars believe have had ripple effects in the field of national security; a major dilemma is that this shifting attitude has been slow to reach the Middle East, one of the most volatile, yet strategic, regions of the Cold-War era. The contributors to this volume come from a wide variety of backgrounds, but have a common interest in dialogue in support of peace in the Middle East. The text aims to put forward new concepts, new policies and new discourses about security: no singular alternative or magical approach is put forward, but a broader terrain is discussed, for debate and analysis of the possibilities and constraints for conflict and conflict resolution in the region.
