Bunch, Clea, The United States and Jordan: Middle East Diplomacy During the Cold War, Londres, I.B.Tauris, 2013, 288p.

Capture d’écran 2014-02-25 à 15.25.41US foreign policy in the Middle East has faced a challenge in the years since World War II: balancing an idealistic desire to promote democracy against the practical need to create stability. Here, Cleo Bunch puts a focus on US policy in Jordan from the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948 to 1970 and the run up to ‘Black September’. These years saw a phase where the Middle East became a stage on which Cold War rivalries were played out, as the US was keen to encourage and maintain alliances in order to counteract Soviet influence in Egypt and Syria. Therefore, Bunch’s analysis of US foreign policy and diplomacy vis-a-vis Jordan will appeal to those researching both the history and the contemporary implications of the West’s foreign policy in the Middle East and the effects of international relations on the region.
