US Foreign Policy and Conflict in the Islamic World |

| Description: |
As more Americans question US policy on Israel and the Palestinian problem, the author presents this political analysis of the relative role of different influences on US foreign policy with regard to the ongoing Arab-Israeli conflict. |
| Synopsis: |
Vaughn P. Shannon argues that US foreign policy toward the Arab-Israeli conflict has been determined at three levels of analysis: that of systemic strategic context, that of domestic politics, and that of individual decision-makers. In this book he explores the role of each level of influence, as well as the implications for the posture which the US has chosen. Reflecting changing circumstances, the volume examines the Cold War, the Gulf War and the new 'War on Terror' and how they have each placed differing pressures on US policymakers as they strive to maintain the ultimate strategic goal of preserving regional oil from becoming dominated by hostile forces. It is suitable for courses on American foreign policy, world politics and politics of the Middle East. |
