Abstract

Scholars and the concerned public have long relied on William Polk for comprehensive and insightful analysis of the culture and politics of the Arab world. The Arab World Today, a thoroughly revised and expanded version of earlier editions, including The Arab World of the American Foreign Policy Library, covers recent developments such as the growth of population, differing rates of industrialization, Egyptian-Israeli peace efforts, the Lebanese maelstrom, terrorism, the impact of Islamic fundamentalism, and the enormous influence of the ever-changing oil market on economic and political life. In addition, the book examines the rarely analyzed but significant cultural, social, and geopolitical developments that are crucial determinants of recent happenings, and includes the best available statistics and information, from which Polk reevaluates and recasts outmoded perceptions.

Abstract

Whether democracy promotion should play a role in US foreign policy continues to be a subject of considerable debate, perhaps nowhere more than with regards to the Arab world. But looking beyond the 'whether', what explains why, where, ad how the United States promotes democracy ? What caused the shift from the Obama administration's support of the Arab Spring protests in 2011 to its retreat from democracy promotion on two years later ? What explains the Trump administration's focus on relationships with autocrats ? In the context of these questions, the author explores the tensions between interests and ideals in U foreign policy and the possibilities and limits of US democracy.
