INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST
International Relations in the Middle East have long been dominated by uncertainty and conflict. Often, academics and politicians try to explain the complexity of the region by referring to and emphasising particular historical events.
Laurie Taylor is joined by distinguished scholar, Professor Fred Halliday whose new book asserts that the complexity of relations in the region is underestimated and questions why its politics now seem to be framed in purely religious terms.
