This book takes a refreshing look at the modern Middle East through the prisms of six cascading negative critical turning points. It identifies the seeds of a potential seventh generated by poor governance paradigms and exacerbated by geopolitical competition for the region's natural resources. The authors argue that this problem can only be effectively addressed through the development of endogenous good governance paradigms that are culturally appropriate, affordable and acceptable to the people of the Middle East, while meeting certain minimal criteria that ensure global moral and political cooperation. They conclude by proposing a set of recommendations designed to promote stability and security in the region and to enable its true potential as a vibrant, tolerant and innovative region to be realized.

Review
'At long last a book on the Middle East which is free from the usual Western stereotypes of Arabs and Muslims. Dr Nayef Al-Rodhan is a distinguished neuroscientist and geostrategist with an intimate knowledge of the Middle East and genuine empathy for its people. The result is a thoughtful and thought-provoking book on an eventual century in Middle Eastern history.' – Professor Avi Shlaim, FBA, St Antony's College, University of Oxford, UK

A truly multilateral approach to the Middle East
21 Mar 2013
By Caroline
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
While there are many broad studies of the history of the Middle East and a heap of literature dedicated to specific events, I have never come across a book that provides a better template for delving into the particular cruxes of a history within its greater context over time. It is a perfect book for anyone who is looking to gain a broad understanding of the history of the region, without losing the importance of the details, thinkers, ideologies, and resultant movements that come from the Middle East's unique turning points in history.
As a student I also found it very useful for the sources the authors' reference. Aside from the bibliographic notes, the specific people mentioned, provides a very smooth point of access for attempting to delve into studies of the Middle East. A great work to use as a launching point!
