| Description: |
This policy-relevant study of US Foreign policy, written in the light of September 11, examines US actions since the 1970s in the critical geographical arena of the Middle East. It argues that the more that the US has militarized the region, the less secure have the American people become. |
| Synopsis: |
September 11 is throwing up some very stark questions for all humanity. What is the Bush administration doing in the world? Is US foreign policy making the planet a safer place for everyone, including Americans, or not? Stephen Zunes takes US foreign policy in the tinderbox that is the Middle East today and examines the reality of what successive administrations have been doing in Iran, Iraq, Palestine and Saudi Arabia. He produces a powerful case that the US faces a fundamental choice: continue to impose its Pax Americana (supporting repressive regimes and encouraging arms build-ups) or promote real peace (based on human rights, international law, and sustainable development). It is a choice that affects us all. |
