Introduction to Israel’s Geopolitics and Society 


The modern Middle East has long been dominated by domestic instability, regional  conflicts, and intensive intervention of great powers politics. Despite significant social,  economic, and political transformation undergone by the Arab-Muslim states since they  attained independence, most of them are still facing major difficulties in state- and  nation-building, authoritarianism and socio-economic underdevelopment of the non-oil  rich countries. All these attributes hada long-term impact on Arab societies leading to the  rise of Islamic radicalism, the rise of non-state jihadist groups and finally, to the recent  Arab uprisings.
