Dramatic changes in the global security environment have
necessitated a fundamental reassessment of U.S. interests and
policy worldwide. This book focuses on the underlying forces at
work in the Middle East, the challenges the United States will face
in the region in the coming decade, and how they will influence
U.S. interests and future strategy. The contributors go beyond
traditional perspectives in analyzing such critical issues as
state-to-state conflicts in the Arab-Israeli and Persian Gulf
arenas; growing Western dependence on Middle East oil; an
increasingly lethal arms race that may upset the regional balance;
competition for scarce resources, such as water, in non-oil states;
and ethnic, sectarian, and ideological forces, such as the Islamic
revival and pressures for democracy, that will affect regional
stability and U.S. interests. Throughout, the authors take a fresh
look at strategic priorities, the policy options available, and the
dilemmas presented by conflicting U.S. interests. The many layers
of analysis are woven together intricately but realistically.
