1 The Contemporary Middle East
View through CrossRef
This chapter tackles some of the most contested terrain. The argument that the Middle East shares narratives both endogenously and exogenously is explored as we set out the historical, social, and territorial formation of the region, focussing on events that have helped shape and reshape this space externally and internally. The movement from pre-industrial to post-industrial societies, and the varying responses to these socio-economic transformations at sub-state, state, and regional levels, has necessitated the interplay between religion and politics, religion and rights and the interface between politics and law. These myriad forces have generated not just one but multiple narratives at the state and civil society level. This chapter examines how conflicts since 1945 have shaped this region with particular reference to the Arab-Israeli conflicts and the post 9-11 ‘war on terror’.
