Prelude
Scholars and analysts of foreign policy studies agree that foreign policy is the by-product or outcome of interactions between external and internal factors aimed at maintaining or changing the status quo. They argue that foreign policy undertakings are shaped by human and non-human factors. Foreign policy study cannot be reduced to testing generalizations that treat societies as agents subject to stimuli that produce external responses.
The Arab world constitutes twenty-two independent countries with a total population of approximately 335 million people, stretching over 14 million square kilometres. The Arab worlds considerable material and human potential, and its strategic location, should allow it to play a major role in world affairs. The Arab states share culture, language, history and geographic proximity and face common external threats. Yet the majority are still characterized by authoritarian regimes, social injustice, economic underdevelopment and military weakness. They suffer common characteristics such as political repression, corruption, identity crisis, ethnic and social cleavages, and dependency on the outside for security. Such factors inspired the Tunisian and Egyptian revolutions and the uprisings in Yemen, Libya, Jordan, Bahrain and Syria.
This work takes a social science approach to the investigation of the dynamics of Arab states foreign policy-making. It is an attempt to understand the evolution of Arab politics in the troubled contemporary world. It sets out a paradigm or a road map that will help decision-makers, scholars, researchers, and students of Middle Eastern politics to understand Arab politics. The purpose of the study is as much to stimulate discussion as to present an overall indigenous cultural interpretation. Earlier versions of some of the chapters have been published in reviewed academic journals in both Arabic and English. The present work does not try to examine all variables involved, problems faced or factors determining Arab states foreign policy undertakings. Nor does it claim to be the only comprehensive work on Arab politics since no paradigm is eternally valid. It is no more than another mile-stone added to the previous extensive and significant works by both Arab and non-Arab scholars on the road to understand contemporary Arab politics.
The main objective of this book is to examine the different, external and internal, variables shaping the Arab states foreign policy undertakings in the
The works key assumption is that, despite the Arabs contribution to raising the strong winds of change that have swept the international world order, they themselves, until recently, have only reaped the storm. It relies on analyses and deduction, seeking to stay neutral throughout the process and arrive at objective and scientific conclusions, while also raising the level of scientific research in the Arab world. It relies on primary and secondary sources. Although the difficulties faced by the author are not unique but are those any Arab researcher faces in general, they are still worth mentioning. They include a shortage of information due to the lack of transparency in the Arab world, excessive political and social hypocrisy in Arabic reporting, and most foreign sources lacking the indigenous cultural paradigm. Moreover, the author encountered, on the one hand, the hegemony of Western colonial culture and, on the other, Arab intellectual bias and division coupled with an absence of a culture of tolerance, which in turn has led to more social division and infighting.
