"Offers a rich and robust account of the foreign policies of Middle East and North African states, capturing how they are driven by the interplay of systemic, and subsystemic, domestic, and individual level forces in the region."—Steven E. Lobell, University of Utah

Praise for the 1st edition:

"The key components of foreign policy decision-making, the 'why,' 'who,' 'what,' and 'how,' are lucidly explained and amply illustrated.... [A] very good and useful book."—David Capitanchik, International Affairs

"A highly useful introduction to the Middle East subsystem for undergraduates or graduates without previous exposure."—Choice
