Employing the comprehensive approach to security, Regional Security in the Middle East: Sectors, Variables and Issues provides an insightful and up to date analysis of security issues in a region that continues to be conflict prone and challenged by factors both regional and global. In this volume, the contributors not only explore regional security dynamics and the barriers to cooperation and integration in the Middle East - but also scenarios for near future security developments in one of the most politically volatile world region. In so doing, the book contextualises the historical and current causes for the divisive reality that characterises the region. Edited by Bettina Koch and Yannis A. Stivachtis Contributors Hassan Ahmadian, Catherine Baylin Duryea, Christopher P. Dallas-Feeney, Stefanie Georgakis Abbott, Johannes Grow, Akis Kalaitzidis, Dina Ibrahim Rashed, Adriana Seagle.
