Abstract

The modern state’s concept as an institution with specific boundaries has been recently introduced in the Middle East region. As a result, without referring to modern regional history and development, there will be no appropriate explanation of the nature and features of present countries in the Middle East, starting with transforming the Islamic Khilafah into separate states and the role of different powers, events and issues in shaping the region. Therefore, this essay presents a comprehensive overview of regional governance that can be an alternative to studying separate Middle Eastern states. This study’s main objective is to analyse and highlight governance in different historical periods that affected the Middle East’s regional dynamics. In doing so, the Historical Dynamics (HD) approach has been used to understand regional governance, coherence and systems. Despite the fact that the Middle East states have several internal differences, the region remains sufficiently integrated and shares fundamental civilisational, political, economic, religious, and historical experiences to provide an intelligible unit of study and a clear understanding. The researcher starts from the Middle East and North Africa’s conceptual reality and provides a brief outline of the region’s most essential characteristics. Then, he identifies and analyses governance during the Ottoman Empire, colonial periods, independence, nationalism and the Cold War phases.
