It argues that to understand UK relations towards Syria over the past century, they have to be viewed in the broader context of British policy on Middle East regional issues, and wider foreign policy priorities. With no direct interests invested in Syria, it is both Britain’s continued involvement in Middle East affairs and Syria’s standing as a key regional power that assures a continuing relationship. Consequently, the stance of leading UK politicians on the issues of post-World War regional order, international terrorism, military interventionism, arms sales, dictatorship and democratisation have circumscribed UK policy options in relation to Syria. Using the tools of Neoclassical realism this study considers British foreign policy behaviour, in terms of Britain’s attempt to mobilize the power to protect its interests. It reviews Britain’s international behaviour in part by how it is affected by changes in the international system, as Britain has declined from being a great imperial power, to a European power. Alliances are a key tool Britain has used to manage its decline, and this study identifies the impact that this has had on Anglo-Syrian relations with particular reference to the US and EU. Finally, it demonstrates that understanding how the foreign policy process works in Britain is key to understanding its international behaviour. In this it takes into account elite perceptions both of what these interests are and how best Britain can achieve them. This adds a layer of understanding as to why ii foreign policy outcomes do not always conform with what would be predicted purely in terms of the pursuit of the national interest. iii Acknowledgements There are a number of people who have assisted me and made my studies more enjoyable over the last few years.

Conclusion p405 Overview of Neoclassical Realism & British foreign policy Impact on Anglo-Syrian Relations Bibliography p459 vii Introduction The Middle East has been, and continues to be an area of priority for British foreign policy. Syria is a key state to consider in bringing stability to that region. Syria, for the British, could have impacted on major parts of other Middle East issues, central to British foreign policy throughout the past century: its control by hostile Vichy regime in World War Two could have significantly reduced Britain’s ability to protect its interests in the Middle East. Its failure to join the Baghdad Pact, cost the West an ally against Soviet influence in the region; engaging it on the issue of the Arab-Israeli peace process could have radically changed the dynamics of that process. It has played a pivotal role on issues from the war on terrorism to Western conflicts with Iraq and Iran. All interaction between Syria and Britain should therefore be seen with an eye on these other major policy issues. This study considers the history of Anglo-Syrian relations, the context and events that colour British foreign policy toward Syria, and how these relations are expanded and/or constrained by the pursuit of other British interests in the region. It considers the effect of Britain’s alliances or other commitments, such as the so-called special relationship with the US and British membership of the European Community, on the pursuit of its foreign policy toward Syria and whether there is a distinctively British approach in this. In this context, the 1 study will look at a series of junctures in time at which Syrian and British interests overlapped and the effect on the Anglo-Syrian relations. It looks at the early decades of the 20th century when two world wars placed British troops on the ground across the Middle East, forced interaction between policy makers and Arab leaders, and the lasting legacy the short term wartime policy had for Britain’s long term policy making toward the region and Syria.

Its contribution to the historiography of the period stems from the fact that it constitutes the first academic study of the third largest resistance organisation in Greece, the 5/42 regiment of evzones. The study of this national resistance organisation can thus extend our knowledge of the Greek resistance effort, the political relations between the main resistance groups, the conditions that led to the civil war and the domestic relevance of British policies.

Paper for the Political Studies Association UK (PSA) Annual Conference 2016, Section ‘Turkey and Syria’, Hilton Meeting Room 4, Brighton, 21 March Jörg Michael Dostal Associate Professor Graduate School of Public Administration, Seoul National University Republic of Korea [email protected] http://gspa.snu.ac.kr/node/76 and Senior Fellow Centre for Syrian Studies University of St. Andrews Introduction: The history of US geopolitical strategy in the Middle East How is it possible to define the geopolitical interests of the US in the Middle East? What kind of geopolitical strategy is used to enforce such interests? In order to identify intellectual fore- runners for the post-WW2 conduct of the US in the region, one needs to turn to geopolitical theorists broadly associated with the realist tradition in international relations. In this context, the writings of Dutch-born Yale University Professor Nicholas J. Spykman (1893-1943) de- serve particular attention. Spykman developed his views about future US strategy after an expected victory in WW2 against the background of earlier geopolitical theorists of sea power, namely Alfred Thayer Mahan (1840-1914), and of land power, namely Sir Halford Mackinder (1861-1947). In contrast to the former two authors, Spykman argued that US ‘security’ could no longer be guaranteed by focusing on regional defense, such as in concepts of a western hemisphere, or concerns with the relative dominance of either sea power or land power, such as in the relative geopolitical advantage of the US as the leading sea power or of Russia (be- tween 1924 and 1991 the Soviet Union) as the leading land power.

  • Eisenhower, Macmillan and the Problem of Nasser Anglo-American Relations and Arab Nationalism, 1955-59
    palgrave.com History : History of Britain and Ireland Ashton, N. Eisenhower, Macmillan and the Problem of Nasser Anglo-American Relations and Arab Nationalism, 1955-59 The years 1955-59 were a vital transitional period for the Anglo-American relationship in the Middle East. British and American leaders sought to protect cold war and oil interests in the region against the background of a renaissance of Arab nationalism personified by the Egyptian leader Nasser. With the aid of extensive declassified official documentation, this study traces the British and American responses to the Turco-Iraqi Pact of 1955, the Suez crisis, the Syrian crisis of 1957, the outbreak of civil strife in Lebanon, and the Iraqi Revolution of 1958. It shows how the differing priorities of the two powers in the region promoted a patchwork of confrontation and cooperation over Middle Eastern questions. For Britain, this study reveals that it was the Iraqi Revolution rather than Suez which led to a redefinition of strategy in the Palgrave Macmillan region, and a concentration on the defence of her oil interests in the Gulf. 1996, VIII, 273 p. 1st edition Order online at springer.com/booksellers Springer Nature Customer Service Center GmbH Customer Service Tiergartenstrasse 15-17 Printed book 69121 Heidelberg Hardcover Germany Printed book T: +49 (0)6221 345-4301 [email protected] Hardcover ISBN 978-0-333-64455-3 £ 119,99 | CHF 165,50 | 139,99 € | 153,99 € (A) | 149,79 € (D) Available Discount group Palgrave Monograph (P6) Product category Monograph Series Studies in Military and Strategic History Prices and other details are subject to change without notice.

The extent of bloodshed can be both horrifying and mystifying to the average American. How is it possible that the international community allows these crimes to proliferate and self-perpetuate in this modern day-in-age? Hearts sink with every image of a child in dire straights as a result of this man-made catastrophe, with more organizations donating to the Syrian plight than ever before; however, westerners to a very valid extent are starting to believe that they are throwing pennies down an endless abyss of despair and irrepaiable damage to the Syrian people, political system and urban fabric.
