Contemporary West Asia : Perspectives on Change and Continuity Paperback / softback

Edited by Sujata Ashwarya, Mujib Alam

Paperback / softback

Pre-Order

Description

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the complexities of change and continuity in West Asia, its society, religion and politics.

An overview of the region’s political, social and economic characteristics brought into sharper relief with the on-going turmoil in the region constitutes the introduction of the book.

While the subsequent two chapters, along with the introductory text, constitute the thematic overview and orientation of the book, the different chapters dedicated to specific countries explore the recent transformative developments in the region.

These chapters chart the emergence of Islamist and post Islamist politics in Iran and Lebanon, elaborate upon the prevailing civil war conditions in Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Libya, examine the impact of the Arab uprisings that began in 2011 on Egypt, Jordan and the Arab Gulf countries, and explore the intricate interplay between Islam and democracy in the present-day politics of Turkey.

While highlighting politics, the texts of the chapters also delve into history, religion and foreign policy.

This book will be as useful for the students of West Asian affairs as it will be for policymakers and any interested reader.
