Middle East Politics

Middle East Politics refers to the political dynamics, relationships, and systems of governance that exist within and between the countries of the Middle East, a region that spans Western Asia and parts of North Africa. This area includes nations such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, Israel, Iraq, Turkey, and others. Middle East Politics is characterized by a variety of factors, including historical conflicts, ethnic and religious diversities, and differing political ideologies. Key issues often discussed in this context include the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the impact of oil and energy resources, the influence of global powers, sectarian tensions (such as Sunni-Shia relations), and emerging movements like Arab nationalism and political Islam. The region has been shaped by colonial legacies, wars, revolutions, and ongoing struggles for power and governance, making its politics complex and often volatile.
