Summary

This book employs international relations theory to help explain one of the Middle East's bloodiest conflicts. Using power transition and foreign policy reciprocity theory, the author develops new insights on the Iran-Iraq war.The author directly engages with the question of why wars occur, with a specific focus on explaining why the Iran-Iraq War ' arguably the longest and one of the more costly conventional wars of the 20th Century ' happened when it did. Applying two analytical tools dealing with causation and war ' foreign policy reciprocity and power transition theory ' to the conflict, he explores the significant policy reversals, characterized by dramatic changes from cooperation to conflict, and explains the relationship between power and war.Rigorously applying IR theories and methods to a Middle East case study, this work makes an important contribution to bridging the gap between international relations and area studies, and as such will be of great interest to students and scholars of international relations, the Middle East, and studies of war and conflict.
