This Volume Seeks To Explore The Impact Of The Gulf War On The Fashioning Of A New World Order, With Particular Reference To The Role Of The Middle East Region. It Is Divided Into Four Parts, Each Addressing A Different Facet. The Purpose Is To Develop A Holistic Perspective Of The New World Order And To Explore Its External And Internal Dynamics. What Is Revealed Is That The Processes Of Policy Articulation, Formulation, And Impact Are Interactively Interrelated Rather Than Sequentially Related And Dynamic Rather Than Static Vis-à̀-vis The Relationship Between Objectives And Outcomes--page 1.
