'Bringing a wealth of fresh empirical data to the table and substantially progressing the theoretical debate on 'middle powerhood', this expertly edited volume significantly expands our understanding of some of the most important established and emerging actors in the Middle East region. Essential reading.' -- Christopher M. Davidson, author of 'Dubai: The Vulnerability of Success and Abu Dhabi: Oil and Beyond' 'Powerful in its critique, 'Unfulfilled Aspirations' is an indispensable guide to understanding why Middle Power Politics now matters so much to a region where, increasingly, actor identities and claims to legitimacy have recast the boundaries of cooperation and conflict.' -- Clive Jones, Professor of Regional Security, Durham University
