The geographically and culturally distant Far East and Middle East have become of great strategic interest to the US. The first goal of this study is to identify links between China and the DPRK on the one hand, and several Middle Eastern states on the other hand. The second goal is consider the implications of these links for US policy in these two regions. Key factors linking the two regions include Muslim populations in China, China and the DPRK's need for Middle Eastern oil, the pursuit of several Middle Eastern states for weapons of mass destruction available only outside legitimate international markets, and mutual concern about US global hegemony. The study concludes that current US strategic relationships in the Middle East limit the potential for China and the DPRK to expand their influence in the region. But the potential for stronger linkages between Far East and Middle East exist, and China and the DPRK could subvert US strategic objectives in the Middle East in several ways, for example by proliferating WMD, providing economic support to Iraq and other "rogue" regimes.

"U.S. policy toward the Middle East has relied heavily on military instruments of power and has focused on regional threats--particularly the Iranian threat--with the goal of keeping partners on "our side." These long-standing policies have largely fallen short of meeting core U.S. interests and adapting to new regional realities and strategic imperatives. RAND researchers offer an alternative framework, suggesting that the U.S. strategic priority must center on reducing regional conflict and the drivers of conflict. This revised strategic approach puts a greater focus on addressing conflict and socioeconomic challenges that are creating unsustainable pressures on the region's states and immense suffering among its people. Researchers analyze how the tools of U.S. policy--political, security, economic, diplomatic, and informational instruments--would need to adjust to more effectively address such challenges in ways that are mindful of limited resources at home. Researchers also examine how the United States deals with both partners and adversaries in and outside the region and consider how to better leverage policies to the benefit of U.S. interests and the region. The researchers recommend specific actions organized into the following three pillars: (1) shifting resources from the current heavy reliance on military tools to a more balanced approach that prioritizes economic investments, governance, diplomacy, and programs focused on people; (2) favoring a long-term time horizon to reduce regional conflict and support growth and development, even at the cost of short-term risks; and (3) working multilaterally with global and regional partners to address key challenges." -- from the publisher.

The research papers contained within this book, which were presented at the ECSSR’s 20th Annual Conference, serve to shed light on the crucial events that have transpired throughout the Middle East and to provide a foundation for critical discussion and conscious interaction. Furthermore, these papers present initiatives that aim to contain the region’s crises and to formulate corresponding solutions. The book aims to follow the profound transformations and violent tremors that threaten to reorder the region’s political map. The paradoxical nature of the conflicts in the region, with complexities that are deemed to be strategically focused within the international realm, is considered as a source of constant political tension on the regional level. Within this context, the chapters of the book examine the standing of the international anti-terrorism coalition and the challenges it faces, alongside the concept of the nation-state in the Arab World and the confrontation with non-state actors. The book also diagnoses the sectarian and religious polarization that rips the region apart and the dimensions of international competition over the region. Moreover, the chapters of the book explore the horizons of possible reliance on China’s role in stabilizing regional and international balances. The functions of Arab collective action and their developments are also examined, as well as joint-Arab relations and their future outlook. Through its depiction of the current political and strategic landscape within the region, The Middle East: Shifting Roles, Interests and Alliances attempts to convey the needs of the region by shedding light on the nature of its divisions and paradoxes—while also placing the context of current shifts within the tactical and strategic plans of regional and international players. As such, the subsequent potential repercussions that may impact security are analyzed, alongside the developmental requirements for the region and the world at large.

As a cultural centre for Islamic interests across the world and as a focus point for increasing levels of economic and security interdependence, the Middle East remains a stage on which international politics will be played for the foreseeable future. This comprehensive study looks at the important international and regional actors and their interaction with, and reaction to, US foreign policy toward the region. The volume elucidates the trends in great power interest and interaction in the Middle East and studies the impact of the United States as the region's foremost military power. It highlights the changing nature of actors' relationships with the US and each other as their interests and policies evolve in response to changes in the region. Scholars, graduate and undergraduate students and the interested public will find this volume a useful guide and an ideal companion work for courses on the Middle East, US foreign policy and international security issues.

"China is becoming increasingly active in the Middle East, just as some regional states perceive a declining U.S. commitment to the region. This study examines China's interests in the region and assesses China's economic, political, and security activities in the Middle East to determine whether China has a strategy toward the region and what such a strategy means for the United States. The study focuses on China's relations with two of its key partners in the Middle East: Saudi Arabia and Iran. The study concludes that China has adopted a "wary dragon" strategy toward the Middle East, whereby China is reluctant to commit substantial diplomatic or military resources to protect its growing energy and other economic interests. China does not pose a threat to U.S. interests in the region, and the United States is likely to remain the dominant security actor in the Middle East for the foreseeable future. The study recommends that the United States adopt a two-pronged strategy where China and the Middle East are concerned. First, the United States should encourage China, along with other Asian powers, to become more involved in efforts to improve Middle East stability. Second, the United States should work to reassure Middle East partners of an enduring U.S. security commitment to the region."--Publisher's description.

A look at the developing conflicts in Christian-Muslim relations during late antiquity and the early Islamic era How did the medieval Middle East transform from a majority-Christian world to a majority-Muslim world, and what role did violence play in this process? Christian Martyrs under Islam explains how Christians across the early Islamic caliphate slowly converted to the faith of the Arab conquerors and how small groups of individuals rejected this faith through dramatic acts of resistance, including apostasy and blasphemy. Using previously untapped sources in a range of Middle Eastern languages, Christian Sahner introduces an unknown group of martyrs who were executed at the hands of Muslim officials between the seventh and ninth centuries CE. Found in places as diverse as Syria, Spain, Egypt, and Armenia, they include an alleged descendant of Muhammad who converted to Christianity, high-ranking Christian secretaries of the Muslim state who viciously insulted the Prophet, and the children of mixed marriages between Muslims and Christians. Sahner argues that Christians never experienced systematic persecution under the early caliphs, and indeed, they remained the largest portion of the population in the greater Middle East for centuries after the Arab conquest. Still, episodes of ferocious violence contributed to the spread of Islam within Christian societies, and memories of this bloodshed played a key role in shaping Christian identity in the new Islamic empire. Christian Martyrs under Islam examines how violence against Christians ended the age of porous religious boundaries and laid the foundations for more antagonistic Muslim-Christian relations in the centuries to come.
