Governance and international relations in the Middle East.
Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index.
Contents Introduction -- Understanding state making -- Iraq: from rentier state to failed state -- Jordan: rentierism and state survival -- The gulf states: from tribal sheikhdoms to sustainable states -- State failure and peace building.
Summary This book addresses the strengths and weaknesses of the authoritarian-regime governments commonly found in the Middle East, particularly among oil-rich countries. In this region, war has interacted with processes of state making in ways that fundamentally differ from the European experience. In short, unlike in Europe, wars do not make states in the Middle East; they destroy them.
