Beyond America's Grasp: A Century of Failed Diplomacy in the Middle East
商品資訊
商品簡介
In this book, the Middle East expert Stephen P. Cohen traces
U.S. policy in the region back to the breakup of the Ottoman
Empire, when the Great Powers failed to take crucial steps to
secure peace there. He sees in that early diplomatic failure a pattern
shaping the conflicts since then—and America’s role in them.
A century ago, there emerged two dominant views regarding
the uses of America’s newfound power. Woodrow Wilson urged
America to promote national freedom and self-determination
through the League of Nations—in stark contrast to his predecessor
Theodore Roosevelt, who had advocated a vigorous foreign
policy based on national self-interest.
Cohen argues that this running conflict has hobbled American
dealings in the Middle East ever since. In concise, pointed chapters,
he shows how different Middle East countries have struggled
to define themselves in the face of America’s stated idealism
and its actual realpolitik. This conflict came to a head in the confused,
clumsy Middle East policy of George W. Bush—but Cohen
suggests the ways a greater awareness of our history in the
region might enable our present leaders to act more sensibly.
