Reviews
“A collection of nine scholarly essays by prominent experts, The Levant in Turmoil: Syria, Palestine, and the Transformation of Middle Eastern Politics is a multidisciplinary work about how the ongoing Syrian civil war is transforming the geography, history, and culture of the Levant. … The Levant in Turmoil: Syria, Palestine, and the Transformation of Middle Eastern Politics will be of interest to both students and scholars alike whose scholarship focuses on the broader Middle East.” (ASQ – Arab Studies Quarterly, Vol. 39 (1), 2017)
"This excellent volume brings together a multiplicity of experts offering diverse perspectives on the crisis which has engulfed the Levant in the post-2011 period. The Syrian civil war and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are meticulously examined and placed in their regional and international contexts. Contemporary developments are analysed in light of their historical antecedents and sectarianism interpreted within its proper political and socio-economic framework. The book offers an informative and measured assessment of the current political transformations of the state system in the Levant and the broader Middle East region and will make a distinct contribution to debate among specialists and the general public alike." - Katerina Dalacoura, Associate Professor in International Relations, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK
"[This book], edited and written by a group of prominent Middle East experts, is an outstanding contribution to the still very small market of serious and meaningful publications on current developments in Syria and the Levant. Although scholarly in style and content, I am sure that it will also attract a much broader non-academic audience." - Henner Fürtig, Director, GIGA Institute of Middle East Studies, Hamburg, Germany
