This seasoned observer of political and diplomatic worlds shatters the myth of the inevitability of sectarian conflict and that the diplomacy between Saudi Arabia and Iran is exhausted. Instead, Banafsheh Keynoush argues in Saudi Arabia and Iran: Friends or Foes? that it has yet to be explored, by recasting the partnership from a US-centered point of view to one based on how Saudi Arabia and Iran see their roles. Who is to blame and how to fix it is part of this penetrating historic account which captivates readers through accurate, non-sensational, and objective analysis. Keynoush recounts it all: the fears, misunderstandings, prejudices, and ambitions that have hobbled efforts to build a lasting partnership, creating a work that is important to both the expert and the layperson.International relationsEthnology—Middle East Middle East—Politics and governmentPolitics and warPeaceArea studiesInternational Relationshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912000Middle Eastern Culturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411110Middle Eastern Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911160Military and Defence Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912080Peace Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912070Area Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22045Saudi ArabiaForeign relationsIranIranForeign relationsSaudi ArabiaMiddle EastPolitics and government1979-International relations.Ethnology—Middle East .Middle East—Politics and government.Politics and war.Peace.Area studies.International Relations.Middle Eastern Culture.Middle Eastern Politics.Military and Defence Studies.Peace Studies.Area Studies.327.538055POL011010POL012000POL034000SOC053000bisacshKeynoush Banafshehauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1058544BOOK9910255322703321Saudi Arabia and Iran2500591UNINA
