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 thelayperson. 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aEthnology$zMiddle East 606 $aCulture 606 $aMiddle East$xPolitics and government 606 $aPolitics and war 606 $aPeace 606 $aPolitical sociology 606 $aInternational Relations 606 $aMiddle Eastern Culture 606 $aMiddle Eastern Politics 606 $aMilitary and Defence Studies 606 $aPeace and Conflict Studies 606 $aPolitical Sociology 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aMiddle East$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aPolitics and war. 615 0$aPeace. 615 0$aPolitical sociology. 615 14$aInternational Relations. 615 24$aMiddle Eastern Culture. 615 24$aMiddle Eastern Politics. 615 24$aMilitary and Defence Studies. 615 24$aPeace and Conflict Studies. 615 24$aPolitical Sociology. 676 $a327.538055 686 $aPOL011010$aPOL012000$aPOL034000$aSOC053000$2bisacsh 700 $aKeynoush$b Banafsheh$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058544 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255322703321 996 $aSaudi Arabia and Iran$92500591 997 $aUNINA
