The Middle East Politics: Post Ottoman Empire and the Cold War

According to this study, the Middle East is made up of an Arab core that shares a common identity but is divided into numerous territorial states. The Arab periphery, which includes Turkey and Iran, is made up of non-Arab states that are closely involved in the region's conflicts and power dynamics. This paper will explain that, with its propensity for war and long history of hostilities, the region of the Middle East is perhaps the focal point of global crises. It seems to be the area where the realism paradigm continues to have the most importance and where the chaos and insecurity that the realistic view of international politics saw as the core characteristics of state systems remain most evident.
