Opis

This book provides a comprehensive guide to broaden our understanding about Iran and its regional neighbors. By analyzing how Iran's neighbors view their ties with the country, this volume reveals why Iran is less successful in expanding its regional influence than what is commonly assumed.

Recenzje

"Few subjects are more important, or controversial, in contemporary world affairs than Iran's alliances and conflicts with its Middle Eastern neighbors. In this book, seasoned experts in the region lay out the key issues in a dispassionate, informed and analytical manner that sheds loads of light on this crucial topic." - Juan Cole, Richard P. Mitchell Collegiate Professor of History and author of Engaging the Muslim World
