China, Russia, and the USA in the Middle East The Contest for Supremacy

The Middle East is no stranger to great power competition, but at a time of increased global instability, the region once again occupies a prominent role within the machinations of global politics. This timely volume offers invaluable insights into the dynamics of this competition and how it shapes both regional and global politics. It is essential reading for those seeking to understand the contours and trajectories of the Middle East's role in global politics in the coming decades.

This stimulating collection addresses what has become the main feature of Middle East politics, the competition of the great powers over the region, and how regional states manoeuvre among these powers to maximise their autonomy and security. The volume systematically addresses the issues and actors, affording the reader an in-depth understanding of MENA's current political dynamics and its role in the global great power struggle.
