U.S. Strategic Disengagement in the Middle East

Abstract

Given the growing anti-U.S. sentiment in the Middle East, and the rise of Islamic extremism, the United States may not be able to indefinitely maintain stability and leadership in that region at affordable costs. In this research project, I intend to examine the concept of containment vis-a'-vis strategic disengagement by the U.S. from this region. Primary emphasis will be on economic considerations and political consequences of such a disengagement.
