U.S. foreign relations in the Middle East has remained crucial
through many decades and the complications facing the United States
in the Middle East have become even more acute. While the United
States downgraded its military operations in Iraq, that country
failed to achieve a stable, democratic footing and instead
experienced schism and civil strife. Israeli-Palestinian disputes
over land, the status of refugees, and control of Jerusalem
intensified, and international conflicts between Arab states and
Israel escalated for the first time since the 1980s. The Arab
Spring protest movements of 2011 and after ignited political
turmoil across the region, leading to revolutionary change in
several states and triggering persistent unrest and violence in
Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen, Syria, and Iraq. During the recent
decade, in short, the Middle East has become the most unstable,
dangerous, and complicated region of the world and the United
States remains near the center of the maelstrom. This second
edition of Historical Dictionary of United States-Middle East
Relations contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and
an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 300
cross-referenced entries on national leaders, non-governmental
organizations, policy initiatives, and armed conflicts, as well as
entries on such topics as intelligence, immigration, and weapons of
mass destruction. This book is an excellent access point for
students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the US
and Middle East Relations.
