Political Faultlines in the Middle East 1st Edition

Gripping, timely, and rigorously researched, Political Faultlines in the Middle East 1st Edition by Kingshuk Chatterjee dissects the forces reshaping one of the world’s most consequential regions. This authoritative volume navigates the complex interplay of state interests, sectarian tensions, energy politics, and external powers — from the Gulf and Egypt to Syria, Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Israel-Palestine, Lebanon and Yemen.

You’ll find clear, accessible analysis that connects historical legacies like colonial boundaries and Cold War alignments to contemporary events such as the Arab Spring, proxy wars, and great-power rivalry. Chatterjee blends geopolitical insight with on-the-ground case studies, making this edition indispensable for policy-makers, students of international relations, journalists, and engaged readers seeking a deeper understanding of Middle East dynamics.

The book also highlights regional cooperation mechanisms and faultlines that could determine future stability or instability across the Levant and Gulf.
