World society and the middle east: reconstructions in regional politics
Stetter, Sthephan
World Society and the Middle East offers an innovative theoretical framework for the study of Middle East politics. By using rich empirical data on currentdevelopments in Middle East politics and society (with a special focus on Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and Syria) the book focuses on pertinent issues in contemporary Middle East studies such as the role of space and power, thepervasiveness of patterns of inclusion/exclusion as well as the status of identities and conflicts. It applies world society theory in modern systems theory to the study of this conflict-ridden region and argues that any comprehensive study on Middle East politics must be firmly embedded within the framework of a complex theory of globalization and a deconstructivist understanding of society.
