The recent "Arab spring", with its popular uprisings in many Arab
countries, has exposed the ambiguity at the heart of American
promotion of democracy in the Middle East. The US invasions of
Afghanistan and Iraq were packaged as democracy promotion, as
heralding the beginning of a new phase in the politics of the
Middle East when democracy would replace authoritarian regimes.
Many of these authoritarian regimes, however, were sustained by US
support. The recent popular uprisings threaten to bring democracy
without promotion by the US, and threaten to overthrow regimes
previously supported by the US and important for US strategy in the
region - hence an initial hesitant response by the US to some of
the uprisings. This book explores the contradictions in American
democracy promotion in the Middle East. It discusses the principles
underlying US democracy promotion, and the debates surrounding US
policy formation, and examines the application of US democracy
promotion in specific cases. It concludes by assessing the likely
future patterns of US engagement with democratic reform in the
Middle East.
