Reviews
'The Middle East in International Relations may well be regarded as his chef d'oeuvre, bringing together as it does not only the borad range of his earlier writings on the area but also a formidable array of other contributions.' Asian Affairs, "Of the dozens of scholars who have sought to explain developments in the Middle East since 9/11, few are better equipped for the task than is Fred Halliday." Douglas Little, The Geographical Reviews, "In his new book...Mr. Halliday offers an authoritative analysis of the armed conflict, social upheaval and political economics that formed the background to the attack on America in 2001 and the invasion of Iraq nearly two years later." The Economist, 'A most worthwhile study that should become compulsory reading for all students of the Middle East.' Contemporary Review, 'A masterly survey by a scholar with a long and unusually rich personal experience of the region.' E. Roger Owen, A. J. Meyer Professor of Middle Eastern History, Harvard University, 'Firstly, Halliday arouses curiosity when he compares political theories to mushrooms: Some are eatable, some enjoyable and a third category is simply poisonous ...Halliday explains particularly convincingly the reasons for the fast and thorough adoption of the exogenous ideology of nationalism in the Arabic region. ... The real value of the chapter lies in the question that Halliday poses about which movements/phenomena/factors are international (inter-state) and which are truly trans-national. He answers this question in an extraordinarily conclusive way using the five case studies of nationalist movements, ... a well thought through appendix of maps, charts, diagrams, and statistic information ... The exquisitely comprehensive selection of sources by itself would justify the 'subsequent use'. This publication, therefore, belongs in every serious Near East library' Henner Fuertig, "In his new book...Mr. Halliday offers an authoritative analysis of the armed conflict, social upheaval and political exonomcs that formed the background to the attack on America in 2001 and the invasion of Iraq nearly two years later."

Now I think I have found the book with the publication of Fred Halliday's The Middle East in International Relations" The International History Review, William B. Quandt, University of Virginia, ‘A most worthwhile study that should become compulsory reading for all students of the Middle East.‘Contemporary Review, "This book is a rich feast, in its language, opinion, conceptual analysis, and overarching vision." Middle East Journal, 'Firstly, Halliday arouses curiosity when he compares political theories to mushrooms: Some are eatable, some enjoyable and a third category is simply poisonous …Halliday explains particularly convincingly the reasons for the fast and thorough adoption of the exogenous ideology of nationalism in the Arabic region. … The real value of the chapter lies in the question that Halliday poses about which movements/phenomena/factors are international (inter-state) and which are truly trans-national.

Synopsis
The international relations of the Middle East have long been dominated by uncertainty and conflict. External intervention, interstate war, political upheaval and interethnic violence are compounded by the vagaries of oil prices and the claims of military, nationalist and religious movements. The purpose of this book is to set this region and its conflicts in context, providing on the one hand a historical introduction to its character and problems, and on the other a reasoned analysis of its politics. In an engagement with both the study of the Middle East and the theoretical analysis of international relations, the author, who is one of the best known and most authoritative scholars writing on the region today, offers a compelling and original interpretation. Written in a clear, accessible and interactive style, the book is designed for students, policymakers, and the general reader., Fred Halliday is one of the most authoritative scholars writing on the Middle East today.
