Problems of the Middle East
Excerpt from Problems of the Middle East
The problems which go to the make-up of this book have been selected as representative of the issues of the political conditions in 'the Middle East. The reader will observe that a study of the Young Turks Party, together with a comprehensive survey of the relations of Korea with certain Powers, has been included, and by just so much the questions presented in this volume exceed the accepted political limitations of the Middle East. It is at best very difficult, if not impossible, to confine the political interests of the Middle East Within their geographical boundaries. The ties between Great Britain and Japan, which at one time might have brought an Asiatic Power to the active support of Great Britain in defence of anglo-indian inter ests, reveal in one direction the elastic character of the politics of the region. In another the Baghdad Railway, which links Near and Middle Eastern interests by indis soluble bonds, imparts a special Significance to the recent changes in the Ottoman Empire. The indulgence of the reader and of the reviewers therefore is asked, since no study of Middle Eastern politics can avoid encroaching a little upon those of the Near East and of the Far East.
