But, with a few exceptions, these frameworks have failed to travel to scholarship on the Middle East, despite the theoretical and empirical potential that they offer for understanding regional dynamics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe first of its kind, this volume addresses that major gap by interrogating the conceptual, theoretical and empirical underpinnings of the concept of 'Middle Power' at a regional level. Composed of nine chapters, \u003cem\u003eUnfulfilled Aspirations\u003c\/em\u003e offers the conceptual and theoretical tools to examine 'Middle Powerhood' in the Middle East, as well as insightful empirical analyses of both 'traditional' Middle Powers in the region (Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Algeria) and new, aspiring ones (Qatar, the UAE). The contributors reveal that the Middle Powers of the Middle East have failed, despite their best efforts, to fulfill their regional aspirations.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdham Saouli, \u003cem\u003eSenior Lecturer in International Relations, University of St Andrews\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAdham Saouli is Senior Lecturer in International Relations at the University of St Andrews, focusing on the genesis, development and behaviour of Middle Eastern political actors.
