Book excerpt: En ce début de xxie siècle, le cycle d’instabilités au Moyen-Orient commencé en 2003 et qui s’est accéléré depuis 2011 a pris une dimension particulièrement dangereuse. Et l’on se donne l’impression d’être dans une situation nouvelle. En réalité, le Moyen-Orient a connu, tout au long du xixe siècle, des crises dites d’Orient. Dans un jeu d’ingérences et d’implications entre acteurs locaux, régionaux et internationaux, au point que l’on ne sait plus qui manipulait l’autre, ces crises opposèrent des intérêts et des projections culturelles contradictoires, aussi bien des Européens sur les pays dits orientaux que de ces derniers vers ce que l’on appelait le « monde civilis頻. Les États affrontèrent une violence parfois extrême, répondant dans l’urgence par des solutions politiques souvent boiteuses. Henry Laurens reprend à son fondement cette « question d’Orient » si multiple, liée aux recompositions successives de l’Empire ottoman et du « Grand Jeu » qui opposa, en Asie, Russie et Grande-Bretagne entre la fin du xviiie siècle et 1914. Henry Laurens est titulaire, depuis 2003, de la chaire d’histoire contemporaine du monde arabe au Collège de France et auteur de plus d’une vingtaine d’ouvrages d’histoire, notamment la Question de Palestine (5 vol.) première véritable synthèse d’une des questions essentielles de notre temps.

Download or read book L Orient arabe written by Henry Laurens and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-02 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis la fin du XVIIIe siècle, l'Orient arabe, tout comme l'Empire ottoman dont il faisait partie, a été le théâtre d'une transformation des valeurs et des réalités sociales, inspirée par l'Europe des révolutions politique et industrielle. Mais la "tentation de l'Occident" s'est accompagnée d'une juste méfiance envers les projets de domination des puissances européennes qui ont établi des réseaux d'influence et de clientèle complexes, alors qu'émergeaient deux grands courants de pensée politique : l'arabisme et l'islamisme. La révolution jeune-turque de 1908 puis la Première Guerre mondiale bouleversent la situation, sonnant le glas de l'Empire ottoman. La France et l'Angleterre appliquent le système des mandats. Si la réussite administrative est incontestable, l'échec politique aura été très lourd pour l'avenir de ces régions. L'Egypte, de son côté, a progressé vers une indépendance certaine et Ibn Sa 'ud a fondé l'Arabie moderne. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, l'Orient arabe reste surtout un enjeu pour les pays occidentaux, tandis qu'apparaît la superpuissance américaine. En s'appuyant sur des documents fondamentaux pour la compréhension des mentalités et des ressorts de l'Histoire, cet ouvrage éclaire ainsi les bases d'une histoire qui apparaît trop souvent compliquée, et l'évolution des sociétés arabes contemporaines.

Download or read book The Post American Middle East written by Laurent A. Lambert and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-06-17 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After two decades of War on Terror, it is particularly important, for both academic and policy purposes, to clearly understand why the US formidable mobilization of means and might has transformed into a such a blatant geostrategic defeat of the US and its allies in the broad Middle East. This is all the more paradoxical that the WOT achieved a series of tactical victories – such as the toppling of hostile regimes in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya; the crippling of the national economies of enemy states by sanctions; the successful targeted killing of lead terrorist Usama Bin Laden, ISIS cult leaders Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi and his successor, etc. So, why have these tactical victories not led to what was supposed to become, according to the US government, a ‘Greater Middle East’? With most authors being from or living in the Middle East, this book is unique as it brings perspectives and answers from the region. This is crucially important as we are entering, we argue, the era of a Post-American Middle East.

Download or read book The War for Muslim Minds written by Gilles Kepel and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2004-09-21 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The events of September 11, 2001, forever changed the world as we knew it. In their wake, the quest for international order has prompted a reshuffling of global aims and priorities. In a fresh approach, Gilles Kepel focuses on the Middle East as a nexus of international disorder and decodes the complex language of war, propaganda, and terrorism that holds the region in its thrall. The breakdown of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process in 2000 was the first turn in a downward spiral of violence and retribution. Meanwhile, a neo-conservative revolution in Washington unsettled U.S. Mideast policy, which traditionally rested on the twin pillars of Israeli security and access to Gulf oil. In Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan, a transformation of the radical Islamist doctrine of Bin Laden and Zawahiri relocated the arena of terrorist action from Muslim lands to the West; Islamist radicals proclaimed jihad against their enemies worldwide. Kepel examines the impact of global terrorism and the ensuing military operations to stem its tide. He questions the United States' ability to address the Middle East challenge with Cold War rhetoric, while revealing the fault lines in terrorist ideology and tactics. Finally, he proposes the way out of the Middle East quagmire that triangulates the interests of Islamists, the West, and the Arab and Muslim ruling elites. Kepel delineates the conditions for the acceptance of Israel, for the democratization of Islamist and Arab societies, and for winning the minds and hearts of Muslims in the West.

Download or read book The Iran Iraq War written by Pierre Razoux and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 679 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1980 to 1988, Iran and Iraq fought the longest conventional war of the twentieth century. The tragedies included the slaughter of child soldiers, the use of chemical weapons, the striking of civilian shipping in the Gulf, and the destruction of cities. The Iran-Iraq War offers an unflinching look at a conflict seared into the region’s collective memory but little understood in the West. Pierre Razoux shows why this war remains central to understanding Middle Eastern geopolitics, from the deep-rooted distrust between Sunni and Shia Muslims, to Iran’s obsession with nuclear power, to the continuing struggles in Iraq. He provides invaluable keys to decipher Iran’s behavior and internal struggle today. Razoux’s account is based on unpublished military archives, oral histories, and interviews, as well as audio recordings seized by the U.S. Army detailing Saddam Hussein’s debates with his generals. Tracing the war’s shifting strategies and political dynamics—military operations, the jockeying of opposition forces within each regime, the impact on oil production so essential to both countries—Razoux also looks at the international picture. From the United States and Soviet Union to Israel, Europe, China, and the Arab powers, many nations meddled in this conflict, supporting one side or the other and sometimes switching allegiances. The Iran-Iraq War answers questions that have puzzled historians. Why did Saddam embark on this expensive, ultimately fruitless conflict? Why did the war last eight years when it could have ended in months? Who, if anyone, was the true winner when so much was lost?

Book excerpt: Two years after George W. Bush declared the end of major combat operations in Iraq, the country is still far from stable. A fierce insurgency is still hampering the reconstruction of the country's infrastructure and the development of the political process. On the other hand, success, however limited, cannot be denied: on 30 January 2005 Iraqis cast their ballots to elect a Transitional Assembly in most provinces of the country and a new government was inaugurated by the end of March 2005. This Chaillot Paper aims to help to formulate a European position on Iraq based on a realistic assessment of the situation on the ground.
