Summary/Abstract: 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.
