  <abstract>This book examines religious, political, and economic conflicts in the Middle East. Written by experts and scholars from various fields, it provides a better understanding of the interwoven impact among religious, political, and economic conflicts in the Middle East. The contributions cover the most important and controversial issues in world affairs, including confrontations between Christianity and Islam and between Sunnis and Shiites; the disputes between Israel and Palestine, the Russian-Ukrainian War, ISIS, competition for oil resources, the Muslim Brotherhood, refugee entrepreneurs, human trafficking, and women's empowerment, etc. The book is an important reference work on the Middle East. It appeals to scholars and students of Middle East studies, international relations, peace and conflicts studies, and related fields, as well as practitioners and policymakers.</abstract>
