Robert Mason looks at the effect that economic considerations (such as oil, gas, sanctions, trade and investment) have had on foreign policy decision-making processes and diplomatic activities. By examining the foreign policies of Saudi Arabia and Iran towards each other, and towards the wider Middle East and beyond, Mason seeks to highlight how oil policy, including oil production, pricing and security of supply and demand, is the paramount economic factor which drives the diplomacy and rivalry of these two pivotal regional powers. His book thus offers vital analysis for researchers of international relations in the Middle East and the processes involved in the formation of foreign policy. -- Amazon."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aLibrary of modern Middle East studies ;$v153. 606 $aInternational economics$2BIC 607 $aIran$xEconomic policy 607 $aIran$xForeign relations 607 $aMiddle East$xEconomic conditions 607 $aMiddle East$xForeign relations$zUnited States 607 $aMiddle East$xForeign relations 607 $aSaudi Arabia$xEconomic policy 607 $aSaudi Arabia$xForeign relations 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zMiddle East 615 7$aInternational economics. 676 $a327.5 700 $aMason$b Robert$f1979-$01263251 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154924003321 996 $aForeign policy in Iran and Saudi Arabia$92960394 997 $aUNINA
