Objectives and Description: 

The conference aims to investigate and examine the emergence, development and transformation of American Foreign Policy towards the Middle East from the 1940s to the present time. United States imperial interests in the region date back to 19th century missionary movements; however, the US began to play a major role in the region right after WWII, with the Cold War Era. In the meantime, the establishment of NATO, declaration of Israeli Independence in 1948 and the creation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict created chaotic political dilemmas for the US as well as for regional alliances. In addition, the reliance of the American economy on oil, and its support for Israel transformed US foreign policy into a ‘dependent’ Foreign policy. This is shown in the way that interest groups have played a major role in their ability to shape US Foreign Policy in the region. In this conference, we examine the emergence, development and transformation of American Foreign Policy Toward the Middle East since the 1940s and in doing so, we will examine Iranian, Turkish, Israeli and Arab perspectives. We would therefore like to see the following themes in the papers:

 

Emergence and Development of American Foreign Policy Towards the Middle East 

American Foreign Policy Towards the Middle East in the Cold War and the Post-Cold War Eras

American Foreign Policy Towards Iran

American Foreign Policy Towards Turkey

American Foreign Policy Towards Israel

American Foreign Policy Towards the Arab States

 

THE CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS WILL BE PUBLISHED IN AN EDITED VOLUME
