Synopsis :

Berch Berberoglu examines the dynamic social forces and political turmoil that plague the contemporary Middle East.

Turmoil in the Middle East highlights the impact of imperialism, war, and political turmoil in the Middle East throughout the course of the twentieth-century-from the devastation of the First World War through the many crises and conflicts that have led to cycles of war, uprisings, coups, revolts, and revolutions. It focuses on the internal contradictions of Middle Eastern states driven by the dynamics of class conflict and class struggle in various realms of society and social relations. Berberoglu examines the political economy of long-embedded conflicts and crises in the Middle East, paying special attention to the role of powerful, external forces stemming from Western imperialism and led by Britain, France, and later the United States.

À propos de l?auteur: Berch Berberoglu is Professor and Chairman of the Department of Sociology, and Director of the Institute for International Studies, at the University of Nevada, Reno. He is the author of several books, including The Legacy of Empire: Economic Decline and Class Polarization in the United States and The Political Economy of Development: Development Theory and the Prospects for Change in the Third World, also published by SUNY Press.
