Reconstruction and Regional Diplomacy in the Persian Gulf

<p>First Published in 1992 <i>Reconstruction and Regional Diplomacy in the Persian Gulf </i>goes beyond a description of the recent events by analysing the social political and economic patterns of interaction between the Gulf states. The argument is strengthened by a consideration of the role of the superpowers in the region’s political discourse and of religion as a force for a change. Not only do the authors provide an easily accessible basis for explaining the current problems in the region but they also offer their own sometimes provocative policy prescriptions. </p><p>This book is an important read for scholars and researchers of Middle East politics and Middle East history. </p>
