Research Abstract |
Scrutinizing the development of U.S.-Middle Eastern as well as Anglo-American relations over the region in the 1950s, this study presents an alternative perspective to the conventional one that considers the Suez crisis of 1956 as a watershed when regional hegemony shifted from the United Kingdom to the United States. Notwithstanding recurrent conflicts over specific tactics to be taken vis-a-vis Middle Eastern countries, policymakers of both the U.S. and the U.K pursued a largely overlapping regional objective of constructing a pro-Western alliance system in the region until 1958, when the Iraqi revolution forced them to abandon such a goal. Afterwards, policymakers in the two countries ceased to recognize Middle Eastern states as potential allies, and instead dealt with them as objects to be maneuvered in their off-shore balancing acts devised to pursue the newly-defined primary objective of an uninterrupted flow of petroleum from the region.
