Rezensionen

"In a region most frequently associated with conflict, violence and disorder, Jordi Quero's use of the concept of 'order' to interpret the international relations of the Middle East is all the more intriguing and thought-provoking. International Relations theories and approaches, such as the English School, are skilfully employed to show how the overlapping intra-Arab, Arab-Israeli and Arab-Iranian orders frame and explain relations between state and non-state actors. This excellent study traces the formation of norms of interaction and, at times, cooperation and coordination, from 1945 until the 2011 Arab uprisings and beyond."

"By drawing on insights from the English School and Constructivist traditions in IR theory, this study of the plurality of regional orders succeeds impressively in challenging some of the prevalent but debatable assumptions about the exceptional, intrinsic conflictual, and complex nature of Middle East international relations. It convincingly demonstrates how IR theory is relevant to the Middle East, while also highlighting how insights from the region can refine our general understanding of different forms of international order."
