The book provides a comprehensive guide for students, academics, and policymakers who seek to understand the Middle East’s complex and dynamic political structure. It analyzes how the region’s political systems and governments have evolved and shaped the current situation by offering a broad historical perspective. The book provides a highly relevant and comprehensive introduction to the complexities of a region in constant flux. The book’s multidisciplinary approach, which combines knowledge from political science, sociology, and history to provide readers with a comprehensive grasp of the area’s politics, is one of its strongest points. The author’s primary motivation is not the Middle East’s historical or religious background but rather the recent developments in the region in terms of geostrategic and economic issues. However, despite focusing on more contemporary politics, the book reserved several chapters for history and religion.
