- Double-weighted statement
- This is a substantial single-author monograph based on research over a number of years. It engages scholars debating material power and identity as factors shaping international alliances and conflicts through three detailed case studies, each tracing the relationship between Syria and Saudi Arabia during a major conflict (Iran versus Iraq (1980-88); Lebanon (2006); and Gaza (2009)). It sets out important implications for IR theory through the light is sheds on the influence of ideational factors versus material self-interest in strategic choices by Middle-Eastern states.
