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. 606 $aSecurity, International 606 $aNational security 606 $aDiplomatic relations 607 $aMiddle East 615 0$aSecurity, International. 615 0$aNational security. 615 0$aDiplomatic relations. 676 $a355.033056 700 $aBilgin$b Pinar$f1971-$01185059 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824722803321 996 $aRegional security in the Middle East$93996393 997 $aUNINA
