Explore the complex history of Western cooperation in the Middle East and North Africa since the Cold War with 'A Vanishing West in the Middle East'. This insightful book, written by Charles Thépaut, delves into the operational and political frameworks used by the United States and European countries in the Arab world, and how their relationships have evolved. Through practitioner testimonies and detailed case studies, uncover the successes and failures of U.S. interventions in Iraq, Syria, and Libya. The book addresses the debate on 'endless wars' and questions the very concept of Western intervention in a region significantly altered by the Arab Spring. As the United States considers a withdrawal, Europe faces increasing necessity for involvement. Both must adapt to a fragmented Middle East, now influenced by assertive Chinese, Russian, Iranian, Emirati, and Turkish foreign policies. This paperback edition offers a comprehensive analysis of geopolitical shifts and the changing dynamics of international relations in the Middle East. Perfect for students of international relations, history buffs, and anyone interested in contemporary Middle Eastern politics.
