Summary

"The Middle East has been the centerpiece of American foreign policy for decades. As President Barack Obama faces continuing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the nuclear debate in Iran and the ever-present Israeli-Palestinian conflict the future of this region is once again firmly in the international spotlight. America's Challenges in the Greater Middle East charts U.S. policy towards key Middle Eastern states and evaluates the impact of the current Administration's policies. This edited volume brings together scholarly opinion from a diverse range of world-recognized experts and is the definitive text on the Obama Administration's engagement with this volatile, yet politically vital, part of the world"--Provided by publisher.
