Due to its unique geopolitical, geoeconomic and geostrategic features, the Middle East region has been confronted with challenging security issues. Combined with a lack of an efficient regional security regime this has led to the formation of a full-fledged arms race. This book draws together contributions from international experts to address the factors that have been contributing to the ongoing formation of an arms race in the Middle East as well as the impact of this phenomenon on the regional and global security environment. The book is organized in three sections. The first section outlines the contemporary dynamics of the arms race in the Middle East by focusing on its most recent dynamics and their implications for regional and international security. The second section conducts systematic analysis of case studies of country-specific drivers of the arms race. The third and final section examines the role of external actors in the arms race, evaluating both the responses of regional actors to external interventions as well as the implications of the arms race for extra-regional countries. 410 0$aContributions to International Relations,$x2731-507X 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aSecurity, International 606 $aPeace 606 $aPolitics and war 606 $aInternational Relations 606 $aInternational Security Studies 606 $aPeace and Conflict Studies 606 $aMilitary and Defence Studies 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aSecurity, International. 615 0$aPeace. 615 0$aPolitics and war. 615 14$aInternational Relations. 615 24$aInternational Security Studies. 615 24$aPeace and Conflict Studies. 615 24$aMilitary and Defence Studies. 676 $a327.1740956 700 $aEslami$b Mohammad$01380506 701 $aGuedes Vieira$b Alena Vysotskaya$01380507 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910736008403321 996 $aThe Arms Race in the Middle East$93421938 997 $aUNINA
