The State and the Question of Security in the Contemporary Middle East: A Reading According to Realism and Constructivism. Our study aims at providing an insight into a few specific ways to understand and analyze state and security issues in the Middle East and North Africa region from the perspective of realism and constructivism. These two classic paradigms of International Relations and Security Studies, despite having a limited epistemological dimension, offer nevertheless the capacity to support in capturing the morphology and the stakes of security situations in a region recognized as hardly permeable to exclusively theoretical analyses.
Résumé. Notre étude se propose d’offrir un regard sur quelques manières spécifiques pour comprendre et analyser la question de l’Etat et de la sécurité dans la région du Moyen-Orient et de l’Afrique du Nord, du point de vue du réalisme et du constructivisme. Ces deux paradigmes classiques des Relations Internationales et des Etudes de Sécurité, même si elles ont une portée épistémologique limitée, ont toutefois la capacité de nous aider à saisir la morphologie et les enjeux des situations sécuritaires dans une région réputée d’être difficilement perméable aux démarches purement théoriques.
Mots-clés: Moyen-Orient, Etat, sécurité, réalisme, constructivisme.
