Constructing Americas Freedom Agenda for the Middle East: Democracy and Domination: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Constructing Americas Freedom Agenda for the Middle East: Democracy and Domination" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book explores how George W. Bushs Freedom Agenda for the Middle East and North Africa was conceived and implemented as an American national interest, from the Bush era right through to the initial stages of the Obama administration. It highlights how the crisis presented by September 11 2001 led to regime change in Afghanistan and Iraq, but more broadly how American policy towards the region had a softer imperial side, which drew on broader economic theories of democratisation and modernisation. The Freedom Agenda contained within it a prescribed method of combating terrorism, but also a method of engaging with and reforming the entire Middle East region more broadly, with many institutions seeking to use the opportunity to implement neo-liberal market logics in the region. Constructing Americas Freedom Agenda for the Middle East highlights the particular understanding of freedom that underpins Americas imperial project in the region; a project trapped between a policy of democratisation and domination. This book analyses the Freedom Agenda in significantly more depth than in available current literature and would be of interest to students and researchers of global politics and international foreign policy of recent years.

Constructing Americas Freedom Agenda for the Middle East

Skillfully navigating ideologically infested waters, Hassan arrives at valuable insights and persuasive, dispassionate conclusions about US policy under both Bush and Obama relating to Arab political change. A fine example of rigorous, reflective scholarship applied to current policy issues of considerable importance and controvery.

This work is dedicated to the people whom I met fighting for their freedom in Tahrir Square and throughout the Middle East. Their resistance showed courage and character that is an inspiration to all who believe in freedom and democracy around the world.

Contents

I started at university just weeks after the events of September 11, 2001, and spent much of much of my time there contemplating what these events meant and how I could understand them, as I watched two wars from the comfort of my television set. It was not until people I knew, serving in the UK forces, were reported killed in action that the effects of September 11, 2001, had an authentic impact on my life. Yet, subsequently, the events of September 11, 2001, have come to permeate features of my everyday life in a very real and concrete way, whether it is disproportionately random searches at airports, being made to go though secondary processing whilst the people I am travelling with are waved through, having to wait a lot longer than others for visas or facing racist slurs on the public transport system. In effect the research that this volume presents is not merely an academic exercise, but rather my attempt to understand how, in my formative years, the world has changed and why it has done so in a particular manner.
