SUMMARY:From Truman to Trump: What Has Happened to US Policy in the Middle East?
DESCRIPTION:From Truman to Trump:\nWhat Has Happened to US Policy in the Middle East?\n  \nFriday\, February 22\, 5pm\nMerten Hall 1201\nGeorge Mason University\n  \nThis lecture traces the history of American entanglements in the Middle East since World War II\, emphasizing the unusual extent to which the region enters American presidential politics\, posing unanticipated\, and often unwelcome\, policy dilemmas and political challenges. From Israel’s declaration of independence\, to the Suez War\, the ‘67 and ‘73 wars\, the oil price shocks\, the Iranian revolution\, Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait\, and the Arab Spring\, the Middle East has produced trials for virtually all US administrations. Today the problems center on ISIS\, Syria\, and the roles of Russia\, Iran\, and Turkey as rivals for US influence. What does this history tell us about the US\, and about the Middle East\, over the seventy-five years? \nREGISTER FOR THE EVENT HERE:  \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/phi-beta-kappa-scholar-visit-tickets-55532257477?mc_cid=814438d38c&mc_eid=6e8c171a89 \nPlease join us for the reception directly following the event! Drinks and food will be served. [See here for details.] \nProfessor Lisa Anderson is former President of the American University in Cairo\, and Dean of the Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs.

She is now James T. Shotwell Professor Emeritus of International Relations at Columbia.
