The Middle East has experienced crises and stirred emotion in the West more than any other region of the "Third World." Particularly from the Western perspective, examples--the persistent Arab-Israeli conflict, the rise of political Islam, September 11 attacks, and the Gulf wars. Is there anything particular or peculiar about the Middle East? Our collective aim is to critically contemplate a wide range of viewpoints on the answer. We begin by probing how and why we study the Middle East and what are some of the salient geographical, historical, and religious features of this area. We then scrutinize the nature of contemporary politics in the region and try to shed light on the factors that have inhibited the growth of democracy in the region.

The international relations of the Middle East are primarily characterized as mired unendingly in conflict and political underdevelopment. Rich natural resources, external interventions, wars, local political upheavals, and sectarian tension are but some of the region's persisting historical contingents. The region's legacy is compounded by the competing claims of nationalist, secular, and religious movements that struggle against military-backed authoritarian regimes. Introduces some of the central issues of contemporary Middle Eastern politics while discussing the region within the larger framework of international relations theory. Specific emphasis on the historical and contemporary interaction between the Middle East and the United States. Demonstrates the interconnectedness of regional and international political conflict and change. Students have the opportunity to develop a deeper appreciation of the internal and external factors that contributed to the emergence of the Middle East state system, as well as how they continue to influence its politics.
