But, with a few exceptions, these frameworks have failed to travel to scholarship on the Middle East, despite the theoretical and empirical potential that they offer for understanding regional dynamics. This book addresses that major gap by interrogating the conceptual, theoretical and empirical underpinnings of the concept of 'middle power' at a regional level.
