About the Book

Israel's victory over Arab states in the Six Day War of 1967 redrew the map of the Middle East. Ever since, Europe has struggled to establish some influence in the region. Largely, it has failed, often unable even to reach a consensus on how to act. Even when united, Europe's position rarely results in effective action, adding support ro German politician Joschka Fischer's assessment that "solving the Middle East and developing a real vision of peace is the major challenge for Europe." Inglorious Disarray examines the disconnect between European rhetoric and action on the Middle East, tracing the power's confused and frequently frustrating involvement over the past half century. It follows Europe's shifting role and its effect on relationships with Israel, Palestinians, and the wider Arab world, not to mention Europe's Muslim population and the development of the European Union in the decades since inception.

Review :
The title says it all. This is a sad tale, fully researched and well told, of Europe's inability to affect a conflict in which it has a high stake and considerable potential influence. -- Professor Sir Lawrence Freedman, Professor of War Studies and Vice-Principal, King's College London, and author of A Choice of Enemies: America Confronts the Middle East Professor Rory Miller has produced a serious, cold-eyed account of political Europe's ineffective role in the Middle East conflict. Miller's unsparing analysis will provide much food for thought both for policy makers and for those with a more general interest in the region. This book will add to Miller's reputation as both a prolific and impressive scholar. -- Lord Bew of Donegore, Professor of Irish Politics, Queen's University Belfast, and author of Ireland: The Politics of Enmity 1789-2006 This passionate and lucid account of the EU's role in the Middle East Peace Process should appeal to experts and the general public. Drawing from a variety of sources it narrates eloquently European Middle East policy in action and how this policy is perceived in the region. Rory Miller does an outstanding job in explaining how and why the EU plays 'second fiddle' to any US administration intent to on making an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal. -- Dr. Walter Posch, Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik, Berlin Meticulously researched, backed up by factual evidence, and extremely well told, Miller's book does an outstanding job of explaining the issues surrounding the EU's playing a secondary role to the US in the region. -- Jonny Paul International Jerusalem Post 9/15/2011
