Abstract

Are international relations theories, and generally theories, applicable to the Middle East, or does the Middle East still serve as an exceptional area where the theories need to make more sense? Mehmet Rakipoglu’s book Hedging Strategy in Foreign Policy: Saudi Arabia's Relations with the US, China, and Russia after the Cold War [Dış politikada korunma (Hedging) stratejisi: Soğuk Savaş sonrası Suudi Arabistan'ın ABD, Çin ve Rusya ile ilişkileri] is a case in which a theory for his case, hedging, has been applied to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s relations with the United States, China, and Russia in the post-Cold War era. By doing so, this study is yet another contribution to exceptionalizing the region and making it relevant to IR theories.
