Nationalism, minority, identity, community… These terms which made a comeback in the 1990s take on a particular resonance in the eastern Mediterranean, from the Balkans to Egypt, including Turkey and the Middle East. This is a space crossed by three major political dynamics: strong national affirmations to compensate for an often precarious state legitimacy, mobilization of ethnicity within existing political groups, transnational organization of identities in favour of development. diasporas and the rise of immigration. All these phenomena imperceptibly redefine the place of the State, the relations between groups, in short, the contours of nationalism on the eastern flank of the Mediterranean basin. This collective work which brings together French and foreign specialists aims, in a perspective linking history, sociology and political science, to identify the changes underway. The role of the state as agent of the production of nationalism through its institutions, its elites, its ideology are examined in turn; the persistence and reactivation of multiple affiliations (religious, ethnic); the constitution of transnational communities. All the contributions provide a better understanding of the many dynamics at work in this fragile Eastern Mediterranean.

Douglas Little explores the stormy American relationship with the Middle East from World War II through the war in Iraq, focusing particularly on the complex and often inconsistent attitudes and interests that helped put the United States on a collision course with radical Islam early in the new millennium. After documenting the persistence of ""orientalist"" stereotypes in American popular culture, Little examines oil, Israel, and other aspects of U.S. policy. He concludes that a peculiar blend of arrogance and ignorance has led American officials to overestimate their ability to shape events
