Meer over het boek

The book analyzes the Gulf War of 1991, challenging the conventional narrative that views Middle East conflicts solely through the lens of superpower rivalry. It posits that regional conflicts possess their own dynamics, independent of global tensions. By utilizing the theory of a regional subsystem, the author explores how local and regional constraints shape conflicts, which can escalate with the involvement of external powers. Additionally, it offers insights into the future of Middle Eastern conflicts following the Gulf War, highlighting the complexities of regional interactions.
