The new Silk Road : how a rising Arab world is turning away from the west and rediscovering China / Ben Simpfendorfer. - Basingstoke UK: Palgrave Macmillan, 2009 - 202 p.

Study of the growing economic ties between China and the Arab countries of the middle east.

Considers whether this is a substantial realignment or whether cultural tensions will prevent closer ties with for example Saudi Arabia and what implications these changes may have for the West.
