Summary
The Middle East devotes half of its coverage to key thematic topics and the and the other half to in-depth discussions of individual countries in the region. The celebrated volume now reflects the many changes and new emphases in the region that have occurred since the last edition was published, including: - A revised and expanded chapter on Islam that covers sectarian divisions and political cleavages; - An updated chapter on the Arab-Israeli conflict, including the impact of Yasir Arafat's death; - Focused coverage of the increasing global demand for Mideast oil and its significance; - Updated discussions of the Middle East policies of the Bush administration, including the U.S. push for democratization in the region; - Updated discussions of the Persian Gulf region, including its continuing significance and recent events and policies stemming from the attacks of September 11, 2001; - Major updates to country profiles, including both historical and political information.
