This study attempts to analyze the ‘subordination’ of the Arab regional system by giving special reference to Egypt and Iraq, as the two most prominent Arab countries that challenged the established Westphalian state system in the Middle East. Through introducing the concept of ‘subordination’, the research seeks to answer the questions of ‘what makes the Middle East different than other regions?’ and ‘how the Middle East subordinated to the international system?’ The conduct of the thesis is based upon three interrelated discussions; systemic origins of the subordination and its main characteristics, subordination of the Middle East as sub-international regional system, and finally the case studies which testify and approve the validity and implications of the theoretical arguments that presented in the former parts of the thesis. Through the exercise of independent, original, and critical thought, this thesis aims to build on existing knowledge by using already known materials but with a new conceptualizations, design and interpretation.

The Relationship between the Egyptian State and the muslim brotherhood from 1952 to 1970
Eldeniz, Selin; Boztemur, Recep; Department of Middle East Studies (2012)
This thesis aims to analyze the relationship between two main inspiration sources of the Arab world, both emerged in Egypt: Gamal Abdel Nasser and the Muslim Brotherhood. The focus is defined as the relationship between the Egyptian state of Nasser’s era and the Muslim Brotherhood; hence the time period is determined to be between 1952 and 1970. The reason why I have chosen this subject is that for the Middle East in general, and Egypt in particular, both actors have played a significant role in the path of...
Resilience of the Nasserist ideology in Egypt: from its emergence to the Arab spring
Şahin, Canan; Tür Küçükkaya, Özlem; Department of Middle East Studies (2014)
This thesis aims to analyze the relevance of the Nasserist ideology in the post-Tahrir Egyptian political scene by looking into its formation and transformation to date. It attempts to respond to the central question as to how come Nasserist ideology, which is thought to have fulfilled its mission at the end of the 1960s, seems to have been resurrected in the contemporary Egypt whether at the regime level in the embodiment of a military figure General Abdal Fattah Al-Sisi or at the oppositional level in the...
Hybrid sovereignty in the Arab Middle East: the cases of Jordan, Iraq And Kuwait
Bacık, Gökhan; Altunışık, Meliha; Department of International Relations (2005)
This thesis analyses the issue of sovereignty in the Arab Middle Eastern context with a special reference to three cases: Jordan, Kuwait and Iraq. The basic argument of this thesis is the inapplicability of Western sovereignty in the related cases. The thesis will discuss that Western sovereignty which was brought to the region has been limited by certain facts. Instead, what we have is a hybrid sovereignty model in which both modern and primordial patterns co-exist. The thesis will also trace the history o...
Explaining cold peace in the Middle East: the cases of Egyptian-Israeli and Jordanian-Israeli peace processes
Sütalan, Zeynep; Tür Küçükkaya, Özlem; Department of International Relations (2015)
This thesis analyzes the Egyptian-Israeli and Jordanian-Israeli peace processes in terms of peace-making, the nature of the peace treaties, and peace-sustaining from the Arab perspective. These peace processes have not gone much further than ‘cold peace’ dashing the hopes for a ‘real peace’ in the region. This thesis argues that the ‘cold peace’ phenomenon evident in the cases of Egyptian-Israeli and Jordanian-Israeli peace processes is the reflection of the autonomy of the state since the authoritarian sta...
Charismatic Leadership in Egypt: Gamal Abdel Nasser
Altun, Tuğba; Altunışık, Meliha; Department of Middle East Studies (2022-12-28)
During the years between 1952 and 1970, Egypt was almost the most influential country in the Arab world. Gamal Abdel Nasser’s powerful image in the eyes of the Egyptians and among the Arabs in general as the president of Egypt at that time was influential. Nasser strongly supported Arab nationalism and unity in the Arab world. Also, he was passionately against colonialism and the bipolar system in the world. Therefore, he created a powerful charismatic leadership with his ideas and policies among the Arabs....
