The Middle East has a very distinctive diplomatic culture. This book surveys the diplomatic relationships and the foundations of foreign policy making among the principal players in the region - Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Turkey and Morocco. It also explores the Middle East policies of the four leading outside powers who have played such a crucial role in the region - the US, Britain, France and Russia. Rendered all the more relevant by the sound and fury surrounding America's new attitudes to the region, the work presents a comparative survey essential for specialists on the Middle East, diplomatic history and international relations. Its contributors are some of the most eminent specialists in their field. They include Remy Leveau, Wm. Roger Louis, William B. Quandt, Alvin Z. Rubinstein, Michael Doran, Bernard Reich, Laurie A.Brand, C. Ernest Dawn, Phebe Marr, I. William Zartman, Herman F Eilts, Shaul Bakhash, George S. Harris and, of course, L. Carl Brown.
