Celebrating the remarkable work of Keith McLachlan, a renowned and highly respected geographer specializing in the Middle East and North Africa, this book explores three interconnected themes that shape the region. The Middle East has played a pivotal role in the growth of the global oil industry, a transformative aspect of its evolution since 1908, which has had far-reaching geopolitical consequences. Additionally, this territory served as the backdrop for the final European attempt at colonialism, a legacy that continues to impact the region even today. Moreover, historically, it has been the home of ancient hydraulic civilizations such as Egypt and Mesopotamia, yet remains heavily reliant on the flow of its two major river systems, the Nile and the Tigris-Euphrates, in the face of an impending climate crisis. These themes serve as the foundation for the chapters that follow, highlighting Keith McLachlan's significant contribution to our understanding of these themes and their profound impact on the contemporary world.
In this comprehensive volume, the authors examine agriculture, oil, and state construction, providing valuable insights into the process of constructing the contemporary Middle East following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. It serves as a crucial resource for scholars and students interested in geopolitics and the geography of the Middle East, offering a comprehensive examination of the region's complex history and current challenges.
