  • Nasser and His Generation

    P J VatikiotisBOOKNasser and His Generation2022Cited by: 17

    First published in 1978 Nasser and His Generation is one of the most important books on modern Egyptian history. It goes much further than a simple history of the Nasser regime or a psychobiography of the Egyptian ruler. It examines his personality, attitudes and beliefs and how these were informed or acquired and seeks to explain what and who he was. But it also considers Nasser to be a representative of a generation of Egyptians, many of whom r…

  • Politics and the Military in Jordan: A Study of the Arab Legion, 1921-1957

    P J VatikiotisBOOKPolitics and the Military in Jordan2017

    Amidst the turmoil in the Middle East, Jordan has presented a striking example of relative stability, and in this study, first published in 1967, Professor Vatikiotis sets out to show just how far Jordan’s stability depends on its army. The Jordan Arab Army, for long better known as the Arab Legion, was one of the best small fighting forces in the Middle East. Raised in 1921 by the late King Abdullah, the legion helped him to pacify the tribes an…

    P J VatikiotisBOOKConflict in the Middle East2016

    The Middle East is a continuing crisis area in world politics. This crisp and penetrating book, first published in 1971, analyses the historical development of the major issues in Arab politics, explains the conflicting interests now at stake in the Middle East and how the politics of the area were likely to develop. It examines, among other topics, the Palestine Liberation Movement, the prospects for Arab unity, and Great Power interference, and…

  • Islam and the State

    P J VatikiotisBOOKIslam and the State2016

    Examining the theoretical problems which arose when the modern European ideology of nationalism was adopted by Muslim societies organized into formally modern states, this book, first published in 1987, also deals with the practical difficulties arising from the doctrinal incompatibility between Islam and the non-Muslim concept of the territorial nation-state. It illustrates this conflict with a consideration of the record of several states in th…

  • Arab and Regional Politics in the Middle East

    P J VatikiotisBOOKArab and Regional Politics in the…2015

    Three main themes are explored in this book, first published in 1984: the first is the problem of religion and politics as a major and long-standing preoccupation of Middle-easterners or Arab Muslims themselves; the second is that of the conflict-ridden inter-Arab and regional politics, approached largely from a local rather than an international perspective; the third deals with Egypt. The book also enquires into the nature of rule and regimes i…

  • Between Arabism and Islam

    P J VatikiotisARTICLEMiddle Eastern Studies1986Cited by: 1References: 1

    It is the consensus among Middle Eastern and Western students of the Middle East that Arab nationalism as an ideological premise of politics and policy in the Arab countries was devalued after 1967. Its supreme goal of Arab unity has been abandoned. 1 In any event, its radical heyday was associated with one particular leader in the 1950s and early 1960s, Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt. Its other exponent and standard-bearer, the Baath party, suffere…
