1981Very Good English Paperback. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In English. 243, [4] p., maps. The Shatt Al-Arab dispute: A legal study. This is a historical, political and legal study of the Shan al-Arab dispute between the government of Iran and the Republic of Iraq, a dispute which has not received the international attention it deserves, while it is a perpetual threat to peace in this area of the Middle East. The Iranian government claims that the Shaft al- Arab is a border ever between the two states and, being a navigable river, it should be divided between Iraq and Iran according to the Thalweg line. This claim has always been unacceptable to Iraq, and not in accordance its the historical facts. Dr Khalid al- Izzi has attempted to study this dispute as objectively s possible, relying upon Iraqi as well as Iranian sources. As a lawyer, the author hopes that his work may help in solving this dis-ute which has for so long marred relations between these two Islamic countries. Those who are interested in the study of Arab- Persian relations will !so find this book useful and stimulating. Mainly contents: Part I. History of the Conflict: 1. Perso-Ottoman Relations prior to the First World Wa (The Peace Treaty of 1639 - The Constantinople Protocol of 1913); 2. The Dispute between the two World Wars; 3.

2018New English Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English. [xi], 195 p., ills. The Syrian exodus in context: Crisis, dispossession and mobility in the Middle East. This book examines the Syrian crisis and exodus by focusing on the experiences of the dispossessed rather than the recipient states. Reintegration and resettlement after situations of mass displacement are generally long-term, multi-faceted and complex processes. Whether we are talking about acceptance in a new society as refugees, migrants, and guest workers, or returning home to postconflict situations, each scenario involves both specific physical challenges and difficult encounters with broader political communities. The debate presented here on precarity and statelessness in terms of systemic denial of access to rights, or, their selective attribution to Syrians on the move, allows us to reconsider the Syrian exodus in a new framework that links forced migration, labour studies, citizenship and rights debates rather than isolating the refugee experience.
