The New Wars Approach and the Post-Cold War Conflicts of the Middle East
Journal Title: Journal of Middle East Perspectives - Year 2022, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
This study aims to test how the New Wars Theory, a novel argumentative standpoint which examines whether the wars of the current era has undergone a change from the Cold War period in terms of several parameters, fairs against the armed conflicts of the Middle East. Noting that the works under the New Wars Theory has tested their arguments in diverse regions other than the Middle East, this paper seeks to provide a contribution to this body of research by analyzing the Cold War and post-Cold War armed conflicts of that area by observing whether there indeed is a transformation of warfare. The research reaches mixed results, as some of the findings support the New Wars Theory while others reveal that under some determinants, no comprehensive shift has occurred.
