Opis

Outlines the impact of the rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Iran across the Middle East, challenging assumptions about 'proxy wars' and sectarianism.

Recenzje

'Rejecting reductive 'proxy war' analyses, this book deftly illustrates how Iran and Saudi Arabia pursue rival visions of political order by building material and normative relationships with local actors, organizations, and groups. Mabon's account recognizes the mutuality of these relationships and offers readers essential insight into conflict dynamics in the MENA region.'
