This book stands as a seminal contribution to the discipline, whichaddress a critical gap in Middle Eastern Studies by moving beyondthe reductionist narrative of “chronic chaos” to dissect the structuralmetamorphosis of the region in the twenty-first century. Whileexisting literature often treats security, political economy, and socialtransformation in isolation, this book offers a holistic, multidisciplinaryframework that bridges the divide between “hard” security concernssuchas proxy warfare and asymmetric conflicts-and “soft” securityissues, including identity politics, ethno-nationalist dimensions,migration, and environmental degradation. By challenging establishedinternational relations paradigms that have failed to capture the post-2011 reality, the work provides an essential epistemological shift,offering scholars, policymakers, and readers of the field a rigorous lensthrough which to understand the collapse of traditional social contractsand the emergence of a multipolar regional order.
The breadth of the analysis is reflected in its comprehensivethematic scope, which scrutinises the most pivotal developments ofthis era. The contributors navigate a complex array of topics, rangingfrom the geopolitical implications of the “Shia Crescent” and Iran’sgrand strategy to the resilience of authoritarianism following the Arabuprising protests. The volume critically examines the tragic trajectoryfrom the Oslo Accords to the crisis in Gaza, the evolving role of extraregionalpowers like China and the US, and the shifting geopolitics ofenergy in the Eastern Mediterranean and Saudi Arabia. Furthermore,by integrating cutting-edge discussions on non-state armed actors,the political economy of capitalism, and the weaponisation of climatediplomacy, this book asserts itself as an indispensable resource forunderstanding the dynamic and interconnected forces shaping thefuture of the Middle East.
