By observing less frequented spaces of power, co-option, and negotiation, and particularly by focusing on the interplay between formal and informal power, this interdisciplinary collection provides new insights in the study of the intersection between policy-making and practical political dynamics in the Greater Middle East.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributing a fresh perspective to a much-discussed topic, \u003ci\u003eInformal Power in the Greater Middle East \u003c\/i\u003ewill be an invaluable resource for students, scholars and those interested in the politics of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45236530872471,"sku":"9780415624367","price":13281.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780415624367.webp?v=1769213418","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/informal-power-in-the-greater-middle-east-hidden-geographies-9780415624367","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
