China and the Middle East uniquely explores Chinas growing presence in the Middle East, and both the benefits and anxiety that this presence has caused in the region, as well as in the West. There are currently very few sources of reference from a Middle Eastern standpoint on the role that the China is currently playing out in the Middle East. Muhamad Olimat addresses this gap in the literature, presenting an in-depth analysis of Chinese-Middle Eastern relations, highlighting some of the most important events that characterize the ties between China and the Middle East, and examining their relationship in key areas such as energy, trade, arms sales, culture and politics.The title consists of 8 chapters, focusing on the following topics:An Overview of Sino-Middle Eastern RelationsA Theoretical PerspectiveA Tridimensional Approach to Sino-Middle Eastern RelationsEnergy Security and the Growing Demand for Oil in ChinaCultural Exchange: the Growing Stature of China in the Middle EastGreat Power Rivalry in the Middle EastChallenges to Sino-Middle Eastern RelationsFuture TrendsThis title assists the understanding of the uniqueness of the Chinese model of engagement in the Middle East and develops a theoretical framework to understand, analyse and predict future trends in Chinese-Middle Eastern relations. It is therefore of major interest and use to scholars, post graduates and final year undergraduates of Middle East Politics, Chinese Foreign Policy, Sino-Middle Eastern relations, Chinas international relations, international relations of the Middle East, Middle East political economy, Saudi Studies, Iranian Studies, American-Chinese relations and Great Powers policies toward the Middle East.

China and the Middle East
There are currently few sources of reference from a Middle Eastern standpoint on the role that the Peoples Republic of China is currently playing in the Middle East and North Africa region. In this book, Dr Muhamad Olimat aims to analyse different perspectives in order to deepen the understanding of scholars and strategic planners alike, in order to offer a complete economic and political overview of the situation. China and Middle Eastern relations date back from the Silk Road and stretch to the current Arab Spring. Chinas relations with the Middle East are highlighted in terms of energy, trade, arms sales, culture and political ties with key countries in the region: Saudi Arabia, Iran, Israel, Algeria and the United Arab Emirates. Chinas bilateral relations with each of these countries are based on a particularly critical aspect that determines its interest in the region. The core of Chinas relations with Israel, for instance, is weapons sales and advanced technology, while relations with Saudi Arabia are based on oil. Iran and China are tied with deep historical, civilizational, cultural and political bonds, although oil is also the primary focus of Chinas current interest in Iran. Chinas national interests in and relations and strategic partnerships with the Middle East are only increasing; this book aims to analyze and interpret these relations in this time of major change in the Middle East.
The book includes discussion of and comment on:
Chinas deep involvement in the Middle East since the Silk Road
The new Silk Road of trade, oil, arms sales, political and cultural relations
Chinas oil investments in the Middle East
Chinas reaction to the Arab Spring
