Hardcover. Condition: New. The states of West Asia continue to grapple with dramatic changes taking place in the domestic and regional environment. Security has emerged as a significant concern for them. The political upheavals, civil strife, sectarian violence and terrorism in the area have implications for the regional and global order. As the region grapples with myriad socio-economic problems, many extra-regional players and non-state actors, and a few regional ones, are attempting to carve out their own areas of influence. These developments across West Asia demand constant monitoring and careful analyses. This book is a collection of essays exploring various aspects of the changing security paradigm in West Asia and the regional and international responses. This book is based on the proceedings of the third West Asia Conference (WAC) organised by the Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses in September 2018. The Conference aimed to deliberate on the emerging security trends in West Asia and elicit views of experts from India and the region. In addition, the WAC discussed the challenges faced by India in devising its policies towards West Asia. First and foremost, we would like to extend our sincere thanks to all the Indian and foreign contributors for their scholarly insights adding immense value to this volume. Most of the presentations during the conference were duly updated by the authors. We are immensely grateful to Ambassador Sujan R. Chinoy, Director General, MP-IDSA for his wholehearted support for compiling this volume.…
