    The Contemporary Middle East

    The Routledge Contemporary Middle East Series provides the first systematic attempt at studying the key actors of the dynamic, complex and strategically important MENA region. Each case study provides an easily-digestible analysis of the origins of the state, its contemporary politics, economics and international relations. All books in the series are available as free inspection copies!

    In a time of great political change and unrest, these highly topical texts offer succinct accounts of the contemporary political environment in the Middle East.
     

  2. Featured Title: Crime-Terror Alliances and the State

    This new book by Lyubov Mincheva and Ted Gurr examines the political economy of transborder violence on the European Periphery that poses grave threats to domestic and international security in Europe and elsewhere. The units of analysis are unholy alliances, i.e. hybrid transborder militant and criminal networks, which have been active in the 1990s and the first decade of the 2000s. The concept of Unholy Alliances is extended to also include the trans-state criminal syndicates that arise in failed and dysfunctional states, or operate within the global illicit economy. It also addresses the question of what reigns supreme in securing the militants’ long term success: money; or social endowment, including strong identity networks?
