The New Arab Regional Order: Opportunities and Challenges for U.S. Policy
Autor Gregory Aftandilian Editat de Strategic Studies Institute (U.S.) Army War College (U.S.)en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 dec 2015 – vârsta ani
This
monograph
examines
the
new
Arab
regional
order
that
has
emerged
over
the
past
few
years
and
analyzes
opportunities
and
challenges
for
U.S.
strategic
interests.
The
regional
order
encompasses:
1)
an
anti-Islamist
grouping
of
countries
that
came
about
largely
in
reaction
to
Muslim
Brotherhood
rule
in
Egypt
in
2012-2013;
and,
2)
an
anti-Shia
grouping
which
solidified
in
the
aftermath
of
the
Houthi
takeover
over
much
of
Yemen,
but
which
includes
other
areas
of
Sunni-Shia
conflict
in
the
region.Saudi
Arabia
is
a
leader
in
both
orders
and
has
important
allies
in
them,
like
Egypt.Although
the
United
States
has
extensive
ties
to
a
number
of
the
countries
in
these
alliances,
and
has
assisted
many
of
them
in
recent
conflicts,
it
has
tried
to
avoid
getting
involved
in
the
larger
Sunni-Shia
conflict
(having
equities
with
both
Sunni
and
Shia
countries)
and
does
not
share
the
views
of
many
secularists
in
the
region
that
all
Islamist
groups
pose
a
threat
to
regional
stability.
The
monograph
argues
that
U.S.
policymakers
should
continue
to
promote
inclusivity
of
all
nonviolent
political
groups
in
the
political
systems
of
these
countries,
regardless
of
whether
these
groups
are
secularist
or
Islamist,
with
the
understanding
that
there
are
limits
to
U.S.
influence.
In
addition,
U.S.
policymakers
should
continue
to
avoid
taking
sides
as
much
as
possible
in
Sunni-Shia
conflicts
and
should
use
its
influence
in
the
area
to
try
to
dampen
such
conflicts,
as
they
are
a
main
source
of
instability
in
the
region
and
help
extremist
groups,
like
ISIL
(Islamic
State
of
Iraq
and
the
Levant)
and
al-Qaeda,
exploit
these
conflicts.
The
monograph
also
recommends
that
the
U.S.
Army
should
assist
countries
of
the
region
in
counter-terrorism
training
and
operations
where
possible,
but
Army
officers
should
avoid
being
drawn
into
discussions
about
the
Islamist-secularist
and
Sunni-Shia
disputes.
