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.Security, InternationalNational securityDiplomatic relationsMiddle EastSecurity, International.National security.Diplomatic relations.355.033056Bilgin Pinar1971-1185059OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910824722803321Regional security in the Middle East3996393UNINA
