{"product_id":"saudi-arabia-and-iran-simon-mabon-9781526150837","title":"Saudi Arabia and Iran: The Struggle to Shape the Middle East","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince 1979, the rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Iran - the two major powers in the Muslim world - has played a prominent role in shaping Middle Eastern politics. Political in nature yet couched in Islamic rhetoric, this rivalry reflects a desire to ensure regime security and legitimacy while also increasing influence across the Middle East. Since the 2003 Iraq War, the relationship has become increasingly vitriolic, resulting in the emergence of proxy conflicts in Iraq, Syria, Bahrain and Yemen. This book argues that to understand regional politics, comprehension of the rivalry between Riyadh and Tehran is essential. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn electronic version of this book is available under a creative commons licence: manchesterhive.com\/view\/9781526150844\/9781526150844.xml\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Mabon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526150832\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526150837\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/08\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Simon Mabon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44068467441919,"sku":"9781526150837","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_44f2f85f-d270-4f59-9d69-6c2493f84043.jpg?v=1685419170","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/saudi-arabia-and-iran-simon-mabon-9781526150837","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
