    A geopolitical analysis of U.S. alliance building within the Middle East
    Hutton, Daniel Mckinley (Virginia Tech, 1989-06-15)
    The concept of geopolitics - is reconsidered as a viable framework in analyzing the power relationship between nation states and then applied to the Middle East. After reviewing the historical development of geopolitics, it is modified, and then set against alternative approaches in explaining Middle Eastern alliances. Ultimately, geopolitics is used in order to rationalize America's alliance network within the region.
