Major Mideast nations are looking east, showing an accelerating tendency to forge closer ties with the quickly rising Asia. This may represent a different sort of geo-magnetic reversal, as this time the poles flip from West to East, with potentially the same shocking reverberations of a North-South polar reversal.
This work reviews the "Look East" approach that Iran, Israel, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq and Egypt have pursued in recent decades.
The work concentrates largely on the critical contemporary aspects, while providing some references to important historical developments for context.

Looking East is a rising trend around the world. And while one country may be focused on the potentially huge politico-economic benefits it offers, another one may be most impressed by the socio-cultural aspects.
This relatively new and fast-growing desire to work with China and its neighbors, and to cooperate in many varied sectors, has much to do with tremendous changes in the economic and political weight and status of Asia over the past several decades.
This book outlines some of the new initiatives in the political, economic, technical, military, and cultural areas, based on research in important archives in several East Asian and Middle Eastern languages as well as in English.
