Book excerpt: Over-reliance upon military action as the predominant instrument of US foreign policy in Southwest Asia is the danger against which this essay; warns. Colonel Robert G. Lawrence, is less troubled by questions of US military strength than by policymakers' insensitivity to the historical, religious, and regional dynamics of Southwest Asia in general and the Persian Gulf states in particular. Security assistance, although important, has been mistakenly considered the essential element of US policy when it should complement, not constitute US diplomacy. Too long, we have failed to understand the Arab view of the world in which they live. Our policymakers have slighted the complexity and the diversity of Arab religions, politics, and history-forces which inform and direct Arab actions. Colonel Lawrence directly addresses the tough questions, such as US support of Israel, widely inconsistent policies for foreign military sales, US failure in Iran, and US inaction during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Interviewing over fifty prominent Arab government officials, military leaders, diplomats, scholars, and businessmen, Colonel Lawrence brings immediacy and insight to this frank, somewhat controversial study of Southwest Asia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This memorandum provides a framework for considering US interests and objectives in Southwest Asia, and policy options for the future. It traces the evolution of US policy toward the region and changing assumptions regarding the nature of US interests and the threats posed to them, especially the dicotomy between intraregional and extraregional threats. The author notes the long-standing conflict between the goal of protecting US interests against the worst case external military threat to the region, and the objective of maintaining regional stability and a favorable political climate for the continued flow of oil. Finally, he discusses three options for protecting US interests in the region and indicates the extent to which each enhances or inhibits the achievement of various recognized objectives. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This memorandum examines the impact of emerging US policy in Southwest Asia upon two important actors in the Southwest Asian area: the USSR and the OECD nations. After analyzing US, Soviet and OECD interests in Southwest Asia, the author concludes that emerging US policy in the region appears to generate more tensions with US allies than with the Soviet Union. Differences in interests and perspectives have led to this situation. Unless interests and perspectives change, US policy in Southwest Asia is likely to continue to make Europe and Japan nervous and is not likely to generate conflict in the US-Soviet relationship. The memorandum concludes with policy suggestions which would help to lessen US-allied tensions but which not heighten US-Soviet strains. (Author).

This book was released on 2004-06-18 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "war on terrorism" has had dramatic impacts on US-Arab relations. Some of these are positive; many are negative, at least in the short term. The US has broken down doors to enter where it has not been invited. Washington seeks and in some cases demands levels of security cooperation that transcend traditional state-to-state relationships. Are these engagements bold and courageous or foolhardy and imperial as defined by critics both in America and abroad? The initial phase of the war on terrorism has passed. Battle lines are clearer. America has had some early success, but progress in the battle for minds is less certain. Many Arab countries, locked in this same battle, also have cause for introspection. The war on terrorism has certainly compelled the Arab world to look inwards more critically and to examine some difficult issues. All parties involved in the war on terrorism should look inward and weigh the extent to which their actions are helping or hurting each other.
