Reviews

This book deals with a pivotal country in a very prominent region , and especially with a recent period that is still very much under-published. It nicely clarifies and links dominant concepts of foreign policy analysis to contemporary events and is nicely-written . A must read. -- Bahgat Korany, Director of AUC Forum and Professor of International Relations and Political Economy at The American University in Cairo (AUC), Egypt A useful analysis of Egypt’s declining regional power in the Middle East and Nile basin well illustrated through case studies of Egyptian-Ethiopian relations concerning the GERD, Egypt’s relative power vis-à-vis Saudi Arabia (e.g., Tiran and Sanafir) and the UAE in the region since 2011, and Red Sea security issues. The book also asks - and answers - how Egypt has responded to its relative decline in power. The answer, I am afraid, is not very effectively. -- Samer Shehata, Colin & Patricia Molina de Mackey Associate Professor of Middle East Studies, University of Oklahoma, US
