Guest author: Mikko Lohikoski - The Changing Middle East. An expert and timely review of the situation in the Middle East and the changing world order.
This expert non-fiction book sheds light on the background of the conflicts in the Middle East.
The turbulent Middle East is located right next door to Europe, and its events also affect Finland, yet we know less about the Palestinian issue, for example, than we think.
The Changing Middle East.
The Breaking of the World Order is a timely work by two experienced Middle East experts, Mikko Lohikoski and Susanne Dahlgren, that helps us understand the multidimensional mosaic of the region. It shows the events as part of a new kind of world order, in which Saudi Arabia, Israel and Iran, along with their powerful actors, are building new alliances and shaping the world to reflect their own views.
The work clearly and unbiasedly reveals the historical roots of the Israel-Palestine conflict, the current dividing lines and the role of the international community, and provides a fact-based background for the discussion of the situation in the Middle East today.
