This title provides a succinct, readable, and comprehensive
treatment of how the Obama administration reacted to what was
arguably the most difficult foreign policy challenge of its eight
years in office: the Arab Spring. As a prelude to examining how the
United States reacted to the first wave of the Arab Spring in the
21st century, this book begins with an examination of how the U.S.
reacted to revolution in the 19th and 20th centuries and a summary
of how foreign policy is made. Each revolution in the Arab Spring
(in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Bahrain, and Yemen) and the Obama
administration's action-or inaction-in response is carefully
analyzed. The U.S.' role is compared to that of regional powers,
such as Turkey, Israel, and Iran. The impact of U.S. abdication in
the face of pivotal events in the region is the subject of the
book's conclusion. While other treatments have addressed how the
Arab Spring revolutions have affected the individual countries
where these revolutions took place, U.S. foreign policy toward the
Middle East, and President Barack Obama's overall foreign policy,
this is the only work that provides a comprehensive examination of
both the Arab Spring revolutions themselves and the reaction of the
U.S. government to those revolutions. Stands as the only academic
book that specifically considers U.S. foreign policy with regard to
the Arab Spring Presents the Arab Spring as a pivotal event, the
U.S. reaction as a watershed, and an understanding of this
interplay as vital to understanding international politics in our
time Traces the often roundabout paths to the creation of U.S.
policy during the Arab Spring and examines the effects of those
policies Serves as an essential text for academics studying the
Middle East, U.S. foreign policy, the progress of revolution, and
politics in the developing world; policymakers wishing to
understand how the Obama administration dealt with the most complex
crisis of its eight years; and interested readers
