Imagining Middle East Politics
Explores timely issues in Middle East politics, while offering key analytic tools for grappling with the region’s fluid developments. Considers how the broader Middle East has been differently imagined as a geographic site of politics, from classical Islamic visions, to modern colonial ambitions, anticolonial struggles and contemporary global intersections. Includes diverse state, transboundary, and non-state actors. Representative themes for case studies include contested sovereignties, transformations in identity, contending forms of violence and geopolitical rivalries.
