Sommario/riassunto

In this new and fully revised edition Pinar Bilgin provides an accessible yet critical analysis of regional security in the Middle East. Using a non-realist approach, the author offers a comprehensive study of pasts, presents and futures of security in the region. The book distinguishes itself from previous (critical) studies on regional security by opening up both 'region' and 'security'. Different from those approaches that bracket one or the other, this study takes seriously the constitutive relationship between (inventing) regions, and (conceptions and practices of) security. There is not one Middle East but many, shaped by the insecurities of those who voice them. This book focuses on how present-day insecurities have their roots in practices that have, throughout history, been shaped by 'geopolitical inventions of security'. In doing so, the book lays the contours of a framework for thinking



critically about regional security in this part of the world.

Sommario/riassunto

Television news range among the most extensively investigated topics in communication studies. The book contributes to television news research by focusing on whether and how news viewers who watch the same news program form similar or different interpretations. The author develops a novel concept of interpretation based on cognitive



complexity research. He strongly argues that qualitative and quantitative research methods work best if they complement one another.
