He contends that this period of cold war is being waged in response to personal arguments between leaders concerned about the internal security, as well as the regional dominance of their regimes, and he argues that the new Arab cold war is a leftover of the end of superpower conflict between the U.S. and the former Soviet Union.

He argues that increasing economic problems and growing Islamic fundamentalism are two factors that cut across these three fronts of Arab conflict. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
