At a time of widespread instability in the Middle East, this book reflects on the construction and contestation of order across the region. Combining conceptual reflections with contemporary empirical analysis, the book offers a timely account of how competing visions of order play out and shape the Middle East. The book seeks to offer a discussion of the concept of order that is grounded in International Relations approaches but applied to the Middle East using a range of important case studies. Bringing together established scholars and exciting new voices, this collection is essential reading in understanding the shifting contours of the Middle East.
This volume is a powerful theoretical intervention in the study of MEIR. It is unique in the breadth of perspectives it gathers, and the diversity of its methodological contributions. -- Bassel F. Salloukh, Doha Institute for Graduate Studies
The book fills an important gap in the existing literature and constitutes as an important and unique contribution. I will without doubt recommend this volume to my own library and I expect that it will also be reference work among scholars. As the volume covers a range of theoretical approaches to and empirical topics concerning regional order, it will also be useful in classes on Middle East politics and/or international relations/IR theory. -- Morten Valbjørn, Aarhus University
