Reviews
'This book bears all the hallmarks of an instant classic. To what extent are the foreign policies of MENA nations influenced by the personalities and personal beliefs of their leaders? The authors answer that question with a wide-ranging operational code analysis of historical and contemporary MENA leaders. This volume will be of immense interest to scholars and foreign policymakers alike.' Valerie Hudson, Texas A&M University 'This is a breakthrough in the study of leadership in the Middle East and North Africa. Operational code analysis is applied to gain insights into how political Islam and other factors shape foreign policy. The book is essential reading for scholars of MENA and international relations in general.' Patrick James, University of Southern California 'This book is an excellent example of how combining foreign policy analysis with regional expertise sharpens the analysis of international relations. OEzdamar and Canbolat put leaders front and centre to make significant contributions to our understanding of the dynamics in the region and to multiple areas of scholarship.' Julie Kaarbo, University of Edinburgh 'The authors of this pathbreaking volume show how key operational code beliefs regarding the exercise of power vary across MENA leaders with the same ideology and between groups with different ideologies to account for their distinct foreign policy decisions and approaches to important regional and global issues in world politics.' Stephen G. Walker, Arizona State University
