East by Mid-East Studies in Cultural, Historical and Strategic Connectivities Edited by Anchi Hoh and Brannon Wheeler Series: Comparative Islamic Studies HB 9781845539337 £60 / $100 256pp More information and ordering page: https://www.equinoxpub.com/equinox/books/showbook.asp?bkid=472 <https://www.equinoxpub.com/equinox/books/showbook.asp?bkid=472&keyword=east > &keyword=east It is almost universally recognized that the Middle East and Asia constitute two of the most important regions today when thinking about international relations, energy and sustainable development, economics, religion, culture, and the so called clash or dialogue of civilizations. Both the Middle East and Asia are, independent of one another, significant sources of natural resources, military conflict, cultural production, human migration and political attention. Despite the high level of international interest in the Middle East and Asia, there have been relatively few publications focused on the interactions of the two regions and how the two regions are inextricably linked in the economic and political impact they have on the rest of the world. East by Mid-East provides a multi-disciplinary and trans-regional approach to the historical roots and continued development of ties between the Middle East and Asia, from Muslim-Confucian relations to nuclear technology exchange between China and Saudi Arabia. The contributors include academics, policy makers and consultants, leaders in international business, law professionals and military. Contents I Cultural and Historical Connections 1.
