Geography has a very important impact on the fate of countries. Land and natural resources can endanger and threaten human beings just as they can bring security and prosperity. Although modern technology has made it possible to control geographical laws to some extent, it is still important in understanding why countries behave. The main focus of the book "prisoners of Geography" is the importance of geopolitics in studying international issues and crises. The author seeks to answer the key question of how geopolitics influences the decisions of leaders and political actors. According to the author, geographical challenges, including mountains, rivers, deserts, and other natural barriers, limit leaders' decision-making in war and peace. In this regard, the author examines the geopolitical conditions of different countries in different geographical regions and, by reviewing the historical past, looks at the future of international crises in light of geopolitical constraints. The Marshall Team has identified key geopolitical issues facing all major continents and regions of the world. The author analyzes the geopolitics of areas with the potential for current or future conflicts. In view of the above issues, the present article tries to introduce the work, critique, and evaluate it on the agenda.

Foreign policy analysis, as one of the important subfields of international relations knowledge, has become a living and current discussion in the scientific circles of international relations in the last decades of the 21st century and relatively important literature has been produced in this field. Foreign policy analysis is the study of the management and implementation of relations between various actors, especially states, in the international system, which covers a wide range of topics. Among these issues, it is very important to study the decision-making process and the role of internal and external possibilities and constraints in this process. In this article, we will review one of the published books in this field entitled " Social Forces Behavior in Foreign Policy". This review is organized into four sections: expressing the advantages of form and content and expressing the shortcomings of form and content. This research is critical analytical research with a text analysis approach.

The book “Will the Middle East Implode”, written by Mohammed Ayoob, has tried to address the Arab Middle East in terms of the Arab Spring’s impact on the collapse and stability of the state, and believes that what is known as the Arab Spring rather than a single and coherent phenomenon, was unrests taking place discretionary and in accordance with the national circumstances of each Arab state that later turned out to be a misleading mirage and with the return of authoritarian regimes and the marginalization of democratic movements in some, or in the swamp of instability and fragmentation of others. This has eventually led to the frustrations of moderate Islamists, and they will join the radical groups and eventually lead to the collapse of the statehood in the region, and later, it will culminate in order and stability in the international stage. This paper is an attempt to critically review the book to discover its strengths and weaknesses in terms of shaping, writing, as well as explaining, translating, comparing, and referring resources and references.
