Martin Год: [не указано] Издание: [не указанo] Страниц: [не указано] ISBN: 0312214146 Combining the rigor of international relations theory with the depth of area studies scholarship, this book creates a comprehensive understanding of the status of national security in the Middle East. The essays break new ground by integrating five variables into a new national security paradigm: political legitimacy, ethnic and religious tolerance, economic capabilities, availability of essential natural resources, and military capabilities. The impressive group of contributors provides data and analysis on both a country and a regional level to underscore the interrelationships among the variables in the paradigm.
