It is also a pleasure to read.a Political Quarterly a The book he has produced offers a provocative examination of a much--debated aspect of the Middle Eastern politics. It should be carefully read by anyone who is interested in examining the historical forces behind state formation in the Middle East.a CIRA Bulletin Rethinking Middle East Politics ... provides a compelling and often provocative description of the Janus--faced nature of Middle East state formation and political development... An important piece of scholarship that deserves the attention of students of Middle Eastern politics and development.
