Cette collection d'essais par un groupe distingué d'érudits – basé sur des conférences présentées lors d'une conférence sur le Moyen-Orient anglo-américain à Trondheim, Norvège en mai 2005 – explique comment les différentes grandes puissances ont, pas toujours avec succès, essayé de contrôler le Moyen-Orient. Le contributeur Edward Ingram compare avec un grand balayage l'expérience impériale britannique et américaine au Moyen-Orient. Il note que trop de chercheurs exagèrent la puissance de la Grande-Bretagne du XIXe siècle afin de la comparer avec la « primauté américaine » actuelle. Alan Milward est sur une approche différente, expliquant comment la crise pétrolière et l'embargo pétrolier ont forcé le Marché commun européen à adopter une nouvelle approche envers les Arabes, et dans le processus à se détacher de l'étreinte américaine et à jeter les bases d'une politique étrangère commune de l'UE. Douglas Little approfondit notre compréhension de son concept d'orientalisme américain – « la tendance à rejeter les musulmans comme arriérés, décadents et mauvais » – terminant son essai par une critique fanante de George W. Bush qui a rejeté la doctrine du confinement en faveur de la guerre préventive lors de l'invasion de l'Irak, créant inutilement l'imbroglio actuel Là. Peter Hahn discute des relations américano-israéliennes dans la période 1945-1961, montrant que les responsables israéliens et américains étaient souvent à la pointe de l'avenir de l'État juif. Pour compléter les essais, le récit de Mary Ann Heiss des épisodes clés de la politique pétrolière américaine depuis 1945. Même avec l'importance du pétrole, comme l'explique Heiss, l'équilibre des forces s'était déplacé en 1974 en faveur des producteurs de pétrole qui avaient « divisé habilement l'Alliance atlantique, opposant les Européens de l'Ouest aux Américains et les uns aux autres »

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The Norwegian University of Science and Technology hosted a conference on the Anglo-American Middle East in Trondheim 2 to 4 May 2005. A distinguished group of scholars accepted our invitations and gracefully agreed to rewrite their lectures for inclusion in this book. They also easily transcended the, perhaps, narrow theme of the conference, making their papers a sophisticated discussion, by and large, how the different great powers have, not always successfully, tried to control the Middle East. Hence the title of this book, 'Controlling the Uncontrollable'. Edward Ingram compares with a grand sweep the British and the American imperial experience in the Middle East, he notes that too many scholars exaggerate the power of nineteenth-century Great Britain in order to compare it with the present day 'US paramountcy'. Alan Milward is on a different tack, explaining how the oil crisis and oil embargo forced the European Common Market to take a new approach towards the Arabs, in the process cutting loose from the American embrace and laying the foundation for a common EU foreign policy.In his article, Douglas Little deepens our understanding of his concept American Orientalism -- the tendency to dismiss Muslims as backward, decadent and evil -- ending his essay with a withering criticism of George W Bush who has rejected the doctrine of containment in favour of preventive war when invading Iraq, needlessly creating the current imbroglio there. Peter Hahn discusses American-Israeli relations in the period 1945-1961, showing that Israeli and American officials were often at loggerheads on the future of the Jewish state. Rounding off the essays is Mary Ann Heiss' account of key episodes of American oil policy since 1945. Even with the importance of oil, as Heiss explains, the balance of power had by 1974 shifted in favour of the oil producers; that had 'shrewdly divided the Atlantic Alliance, pitting the Western Europeans against both the Americans and each other'. Includes papers which discuss how the different great powers have, not always successfully, tried to control the Middle East. This book compares the British and the American imperial experience in the Middle East. It explains how the oil crisis and oil embargo forced the European Common Market to take a different approach towards the Arabs.
