Taken together these elements indicate the trajectory of China's MENA presence, and by examining each element in different states across the region, this book provides empirical evidence of which states or subregions are most important for Beijing's regional ambitions, as well as a better understanding of which sectors are being developed. The book will draw substantial interest from a wide range of readers including academics in the field of Chinese foreign policy, international relations, international political economy, foreign policy analysis, and area studies. Professionals in the corporate world will also be engaged and governmental practitioners and non-government agencies will also find it an important resource.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJonathan Fulton \u003c\/strong\u003eis an Associate Professor of Political Science in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at Zayed University in Abu Dhabi, UAE, and a non-resident senior fellow for Middle East programs and the Scowcroft Middle East Security Initiative at the Atlantic Council.
