The drive to promote American-style higher education is among the
most longstanding and enduring features of U.S. foreign policy in
the Middle East. Since its earliest engagements in the region, the
U.S. government has looked to American universities to promote
Washington's interests and values. This book analyzes how American
universities in the Middle East relate to U.S. foreign policy and
how this relationship has evolved amid shifting U.S. priorities
through two world wars, the Cold War, and the War on Terrorism.
American Universities in the Middle East and U.S. Foreign Policy
focuses on four sets of case studies: (1) The American University
of Beirut; (2) The American University in Cairo; (3) American
universities in Afghanistan and Iraq; and (4) Education City in
Qatar. At a time when policymakers are litigating core tenets of
U.S. Middle East policy and new actors are entering the region's
higher education space, this book provides a resource to understand
the geopolitical role of American universities in the Middle East.
